A method, tangible computer-readable medium and apparatus for concurrently executing subsystems in a graphical model is provided. An embodiment can transform a conventional graphical model supporting single threaded execution into a model supporting multi-threaded execution through the replacement of a single block. The transformed model may support concurrent execution of a plurality of subsystems using a plurality of threads when the graphical model executes. An embodiment provides a user interface that allows a user to intuitively configure a model for current execution of the subsystems.

The present invention provides a method for automatically defining a part model for a semiconductor component. An image of the component is provided. The automatic method may be any of a trial and error method, systematic method or a method based on distance-angle signatures. The trial and error method is described in the context of defining a part model for a ball grid array. The systematic approach is described in the context of a leaded semiconductor, and the distance angle signature approach is described in the context of defining a part model for an odd form semiconductor component.
