ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in one embodiment, is a method for representing component connectivity of components which compose a system. The method comprises the steps of creating a diagram composed of blocks representing components of the system, representing connectivity of the components on the diagram, selected a first start component, assigning a first label to the start component, identifying respective children components of the start component, assigning the respective children components of start component respective labels, the respective labels being unique for each component and representing the component connectivity, selecting another start component if any components in the diagram are unlabelled, and then repeating the above steps for the second start component. The process is repeated until the components and component connectivity are represented in a respective label. The assigned component labels are then stored.
