Model Wizard
The Model Wizard provides Patterns from a wide range of technologies, which you can use to quickly generate new models in your project both when you first create the project and over time.
The Model Wizard has three tabs:
• | Model Patterns - from which you can create basic models that you can develop further as components of your project |
• | Application Patterns - from which you can generate starter projects including model information, code and build scripts for one of several basic application types |
• | VEA Examples - through which you can import complete sample models (packages), including all necessary model information, code and build scripts, to explore and try out the Visual Execution Analyzer |
This description covers the use of the Model Patterns tab. See Learn more, below, for links to information on the other two tabs.

Technology |
Lists the technologies integrated with or imported into Enterprise Architect, which provide Model Patterns specific to the technology. If you are a Technology Developer, you can create and import your own MDG Technology and distribute custom Model Patterns from that technology, through the Model Wizard; the name of your technology displays in this list for your users to select to access the technology Patterns. You can also use the Model Wizard to create these MDG Technologies, by selecting the MDG Technology Builder technology. This creates a Model package containing templates that you can use to generate the technology and a set of Profiles.
Click on the required technology to list the associated Model Patterns in the Name panel. The first three technologies support core UML modeling:
There is some overlap between these three categories.
