titleSTEP 3: Link components together and try a restart
  • The previous test shows the performance of unlinked components which is not realistic for interfaces

  • From the dashboard, click Edit Connections at the top and link together the AutoGeneratedComponent in pairs, in threes, or however you see fit.

    • Note that cycles are not allowed

  • Then restart Iguana as in the previous step
