Behavioral Models
Enterprise Architect’s powerful system engineering capability can be used to generate code for software, system and hardware description languages directly from behavioral models, such as StateMachine, Sequence and Activity diagrams. The supported languages include C(OO), C++, C#, Java, VB.Net, VHDL, Verilog and SystemC.
Software code can be generated from StateMachine, Sequence and Activity diagrams, and hardware description languages from StateMachine diagrams.

Notes
- Software code generation from behavioral models is available in the Business and Software Engineering, Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect
- Hardware code generation from StateMachine models is available in the Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect
- For C(OO), on the 'C Specifications' page of the 'Preferences' dialog set the 'Object Oriented Support' option to True
- To be able to generate code from behavioral models, all behavioral constructs should be contained within a Class
- Code synchronization is not supported for behavioral code
