The UML diagrams in this Solution are divided into three broad categories:
Structure Diagrams
Behavior Diagrams
Interaction Diagrams
The seven Structure Diagrams are the core components that must be present in any system being modeled. These include:
Class,
Component,
Composite Structure,
Deployment,
Object,
Package,
Profile diagrams.
To assign functionality, we have three Behavior Diagrams:
UML Activity,
UML State Machine,
Use Case diagrams.
The Interaction subgroup controls the flow of control and data, including diagrams for
Communication,
Interaction Overview,
Sequence,
and Timing.
For UML experienced users, the diagrams and objects will be familiar; while the Rapid Draw interface offers an intuitive way to connect and shape your diagrams. The solution is designed to make your UML diagramming simple, efficient, and effective. In the coming months, there will be more solutions making use of the Rapid Draw functionality.
Video 1. How to create your UML Diagram
ConceptDraw have released an exciting UML solution, using our intuitive RapidDraw technology. This video will take you through all the available diagrams, with a brief description of what each is capable of. This new solution can be found and downloaded through your ConceptDraw STORE.

The 13 diagrams contained in the Rapid UML Solution offer an essential framework for systems analysts and software architects to create the diagrams they need to model processes from the conceptual level on through to project completion. Thanks to the tools in this Solution, UML diagramming has never been faster or easier.
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical technique which allows effectively model and analyze the information processes and systems. The ability to fast and easy create the DFDs is made possible with Data Flow Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. For designing the Data Flow Diagrams are used simple DFD flowchart symbols which are connected each other by arrows depicting the data flow from one step to another.
Is it possible to develop a diagram as quickly as the ideas come to you? The innovative ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology included in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful drawing tool that changes the way diagrams are produced.
While making the drawing process easier and faster.
Developing a software project supposes architecture first. To make it proper, you can use data flow diagram model in your current project.
The data flow diagram represents the Model of small traditional production enterprise that is made using Yourdon and Coad notation. It shows how the data is transfered through a process. According to the notation of Yourdon and Coad a process is represented by circles and data stores are drawn using parallel lines. This DFD was created using the ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution. Using this solution one can visualize data flow accordingly to the rules of two basic notations used for data flow modeling.
This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the UML Activity Diagram library of the Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
The UML Diagrams are widely used by software developers and software engineers. They can draw the UML Diagrams manually on the paper, but it is incredibly convenient to use the special UML diagramming software. The UML diagramming software allows you to draw the UML Diagrams in a few minutes.
There are a lot of structured analysis and design technique methodologies used to describe systems and data sources. To visualize data structures, data flow diagrams can be used for various purposes in the area of software engineering. Nowadays these diagrams are also used in the area of business analysis and information system analysis.
This data flow diagram depicts an account processing system of a typical account department of a small manufacturing enterprise. It shows the data transmission through the order processing to shipping verification. This data flow diagram was created according to standard of Yourdon and Coad notation. The vector graphic objects of Yourdon/Coad notation symbols was delivered by ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution. The current DFD can be employed as an example of a business process model, representing the set of business events and interactions commonly engaged in a accounts receivable process.
A flowchart is a powerful tool for examining processes. It helps improving processes a lot, as it becomes much easier to communicate between involved people, to identify potential problems and to optimize workflow. There are flowcharts of different shapes, sizes and types of flowchart vary from quite basic process flowcharts to complex program flowcharts. Nevertheless, all these diagrams use the same set of special symbols like arrows to connect blocks, parallelogram to show data receiving or rectangles for showing process steps.
Basic flowcharts are used to represent a simple process algorithm. A basic flowchart notation consists of rectangles (business processes), arrows (the flow of information, documents, etc.). The same notation is used in items such as the "decision", which allow you to do the branching. To indicate the start of the entire business process and its termination can be used the "Terminator" element. The advantages of Basic Flowchart are simplicity and clarity. With it you can quickly describe the business process steps. Creating of Basic Flowchart does not require any special knowledge, as easily understand by employees with different levels of education and IQ.
