Model Wizard

The Model Wizard enables you to create models in your project, based on Patterns from a range of technologies, both when you first create the project and over time.

The Model Wizard has three tabs:

•Model Patterns - these enable you to create basic models that you can develop further as components of your project
•Application Patterns - these enable you to generate starter projects including model information, code and build scripts for one of several basic application types
•VEA Examples - these enable you to import complete sample models (packages), including all necessary model information, code and build scripts, to explore and try out the Visual Execution Analyzer
 

This topic discusses use of the Model Patterns tab. See Learn more, below, for links to topics 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 as part of that technology; the name of your technology displays in this list.

Click on the required technology to list the associated Model Patterns in the Name panel.

The first three technologies support core UML modeling:

•Basic UML 2 Technology - provides Model Patterns for general purpose, 'diagram type' UML modeling, generating extensive model structures
 
•Simple UML Views - provides Model Patterns for 'view' oriented modeling, generating an appropriate package with an empty diagram, eliminating the need to delete unwanted sections of  boilerplate structure
 
These are slightly different from the basic Views that you can create instead of Model Packages, under the model root node
 
•Core Extensions - provides Model Patterns for the extended application of UML modeling

 

There is some overlap between these three categories.
