Simulated component connector definition and connection process

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising a computer usable program code configured to:
• process a dataset comprising a plurality of hardware component entries and one or more connection entries, wherein each hardware component entry of the plurality of hardware component entries indicates a hardware component for simulation, wherein each connection entry of the one or more connection entries indicates a plurality of hardware components to be connected;
• create a plurality of simulated hardware components based, at least in part, on the plurality of hardware component entries;
• and
• create a simulated connection between a first simulated hardware component of the plurality of simulated hardware components and a second simulated hardware component of the plurality of simulated hardware components based, at least in part, on a connection entry of the one or more connection entries.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to,
• process a dataset comprising a plurality of hardware component entries and one or more connection entries, wherein each hardware component entry of the plurality of hardware component entries indicates a hardware component for simulation, wherein each connection entry of the one or more connection entries indicates a plurality of hardware components to be connected;
• create a plurality of simulated hardware components based, at least in part, on the plurality of hardware component entries;
• and
• create a simulated connection between a first simulated hardware component of the plurality of simulated hardware components and a second simulated hardware component of the plurality of simulated hardware components based, at least in part, on a connection entry of the one or more connection entries.
