USER CUSTOMIZABLE QUERIES TO POPULATE MODEL DIAGRAMS

摘要

A method for visually modeling architectures or system designs includes the steps of providing an architectural model having a plurality of elements of one or more types, and providing a platform for a user to develop a non-software code query relating to the elements of the model. The method further includes the steps of executing the developed query to extract one or more of the plurality of elements from the model, and populating a diagram with the extracted one or more of the plurality of elements.
