UML Structural Models
Structural diagrams depict the structural elements composing a system or function. These diagrams reflect the static relationships of a structure, such as Class or Package diagrams, or run-time architectures such as Object or Composite Structure diagrams.
Structural diagrams include the following diagram types:

|---|---|---|
Class Diagrams |
Class diagrams capture the logical structure of the system, the Classes and objects that make up the model, describing what exists and what attributes and behavior it has. |
|
Composite Structure Diagrams |
Composite Structure diagrams reflect the internal collaboration of Classes, Interfaces and Components (and their properties) to describe a functionality. |
|
Component Diagrams |
Component diagrams illustrate the pieces of software, embedded controllers and such that make up a system, and their organization and dependencies. |
|
Deployment Diagrams |
Deployment diagrams show how and where the system is to be deployed; that is, its execution architecture. |
|
Object Diagrams |
Object diagrams depict object instances of Classes and their relationships at a point in time. |
|
Package Diagrams |
Package diagrams depict the organization of model elements into packages and the dependencies amongst them. |
|
Profile Diagrams |
Profile Diagrams are those created in a �profile� package, to extend UML elements, connectors and components. |
