1. A method of determining a three-dimensional layout of electrical connection components of an electric component comprising a power network component, the method comprising:
executing, by at least one processor, a path optimization routine to determine three-dimensional routes for assembly of a plurality of electrical connections for the electrical connection components, the path optimization routine comprising an A* or Dijkstra algorithm, a bi-directional optimum path search routine, dynamic programming or mathematical programming;
performing, by the at least one processor, a conflict management to generate conflict-free three-dimensional routes for the plurality of electrical connections in which the electrical connections do not interfere with each other;
determining, by the at least one processor, a three-dimensional layout of the electrical connections of the electric component based on the conflict-free three-dimensional routes; and
automatically determining, by the at least one processor, a three-dimensional layout of framework structures for the plurality of electrical connection components based on the conflict-free three-dimensional routes.
