Altova UModel 2024 Basic Edition2024.02.01

Design application structure visually with Altova UModel 2024 Basic Edition, then turn those models into source code and project documentation. The tool generates Java, C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET code from UML designs, giving developers a visual way to plan classes, relationships, behavior, and application architecture before implementation.

It can also reverse engineer existing programs into UML diagrams, allowing teams to refine the design and regenerate updated code in a round-trip engineering workflow. UModel supports all 14 standard UML 2.5 diagram types, along with database models, UML-style views for XML Schemas and tables in popular SQL databases, and all nine SysML diagram types. Business process modeling through BPMN adds a way to represent workflows and organizational processes alongside software structures.

Diagram views can be customized by changing element size and position, colors, typefaces, and line styles, while dedicated toolbars, color coding, icons, entry helpers, and quick editing controls support diagram-specific work. Source code engineering and XMI model interchange make it practical to share models, connect design work with development, and preserve a round trip between diagrams and implementation. It suits software architects, developers, and development teams documenting new systems, analyzing existing code, or coordinating software, database, systems-engineering, and business-process designs.

Published by Altova for Windows, the x86 edition is version 2024.02.01. Its Windows platform and 32-bit architecture are important considerations for users selecting it for a development workstation.
