A method of automated generation of a set of design data defining a system model from an architecture database of system architectural parameters, each defined by a primary key field and a set of fields holding subsidiary data relating to the primary key, comprises reading the primary key for each architectural parameter, generating in an electronic storage medium a structured definition entry for each architectural parameter, the structured definition entry being associated with a parameter-identification field (e.g. a title), and loading the primary key into the identification field and the subsidiary data into the structured definition entry. The structured definition entry may take the form of a programming definition of the architectural parameter in a modelling language. If changes are made manually to the architectural parameters in the database they are automatically reflected in the definition entries, and vice versa. The definition entries may be in humanly-readable tabular format.
