4. A computer-implemented method for extending a graphical simulation language, the computer-implemented method comprising: providing a plurality of domain components; providing a plurality of parameterization functions; providing one or more partitioning blocks associated with the graphical simulation language; associating a plurality of nodes with a domain component using the one or more partitioning blocks, the plurality of nodes being distinct from the plurality of parameterization functions; associating a parameterization function with the plurality of nodes within a domain component, the parameterization function specifying parameters associated with the plurality of nodes within the domain component; and providing the specified parameters to the plurality of nodes associated with the parameterization function within the domain component using the parameterization function, and not providing the specified parameters associated with the plurality of nodes within the domain component to a second domain component.
