UML Notation

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is an open standard, the language of graphic description used for modeling objects in a field of software development and software engineering. It was created for definition, specification, visualization, designing and documenting software systems, as a unification of three object-oriented technologies Booch, OMT and OOSE, and uses the defined graphic notation for creating the visual models of object-oriented software systems. Description of UML consists of two parts, interactive and supplementing each other: UML semantics, which represents a certain metamodel, defines the abstract syntax and semantics of terms of object modeling with UML, and UML notation that is a graphic notation for visual representation of UML semantics. The powerful tools of the Rapid UML solution included to ConceptDraw Solution Park make the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software the best for easy applying the UML notation when creating the visual models of object-oriented software systems and designing different kinds of UML diagrams.

UML Composite Structure Diagram. Design Elements

UML Composite Structure Diagram shows the internal structure of a class and the possible interactions at this structure. ConceptDraw has 393 vector stencils in the 13 libraries that helps you to start using software for designing your own UML Diagrams. You can use the appropriate stencils of UML notation from UML Composite Structure library.

UML Class Diagram Notation

When it comes to system construction, a class diagram is the most widely used diagram. UML Class Diagrams is a type of static structure diagram that is used for general conceptual modeling of the systematics of the application. Such a diagram would illustrate the object-oriented view of a system. The object orientation of a system is indicated by a class diagram. It describes the structure of a system by showing the general issues,classes of a system, attributes, operations, interfaces, inheritance, and the relationships between them.

How to Make a UML Diagram

The Unified Modeling Language™(UML) is a standard visual modeling language to document business processes and software architecture. UML uses several types of diagrams including Use Case Diagrams, Class, Package, Component, Composite Structure Diagrams, Deployments, Activities, and Interactions. The accepted standard used when modeling a system is known as the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a generic set of notations that are used when creating UML diagrams. These notations can visually represent requirements, subsystems, logical and physical elements, and structural and behavioral patterns, that are especially relevant to systems built using an object-oriented style. Using UML during the modeling process has a number of benefits — for one, the entire development team can share information and collaborate using a common language, diagrams, and software, something that's not possible when using a more task-specific programming language.

Design elements - Internal block diagram

The vector stencils library "Internal block diagram" contains 22 SysML symbols.
Use it to design your internal block diagrams using ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Internal Block Diagram
An internal block diagram is based on the UML composite structure diagram, with restrictions and extensions as defined
by SysML. ...
Property types
Four general categories of properties of blocks are recognized in SysML: parts, references, value properties, and
constraint properties. ... A part or value property is always shown on an internal block diagram with a solid-outline box. A reference property is shown by a dashed-outline box, consistent with UML. Ports are special cases of properties, and have a variety of notations... Constraint properties and their parameters also have their own notations... " [www.omg.org/ spec/ SysML/ 1.3/ PDF]
The SysML shapes example "Design elements - Internal block diagram" is included in the SysML solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
