Learn how to create a UML 2.1 modeling project, build UML models, fuse models, and apply a design pattern to a model using Rational Software Modeler. IBM's Rational® Software Delivery Platform provides a completely customizable, UML 2.1-based visual modeling and design tool that enables architects, systems analysts, designers and others in the development process to clearly document and communicate processes, flows, and designs. Rational Software Modeler, Rational Systems Developer, and Rational Software Architect also integrate with other tools (such as WebSphere® Business Modeler and Rational Testing products) to support true team-wide development. This series walks you through some of the UML 2.1 modeling capabilities of Rational Software Modeler, Rational Systems Developer, and Rational Software Architect.

In this tutorial

  • Create UML modeling project and build two UML models

  • Model fuse

  • Apply a design pattern to a UML model

Objectives

After completing this tutorial, you will know how to use Rational Software Modeler to create a modeling project, create two models, fuse two models together, and apply a design pattern to a model.

Prerequisites

It is assumed that you have some understanding of UML 2.1. Knowledge of UML 2.1 diagrams will be helpful, but not required.


System requirements

To run the examples as demonstrated in this tutorial, you need to have Rational Software Modeler installed.

If you don't already have a copy of Rational Software Modeler, you can download a free trial version. See Resources for the prerequisites for Rational Software Modeler.

Rational Software Modeler works best on a machine with 1 GB of memory.
