Create a New Model

Once your metamodel is ready, the next step is to create a model that instantiates the structure defined in your metamodel.

 

1. Create a Model:

• In the Main Menu, select New Model.
• Choose the metamodel you created (e.g., MyFirstMetaModel) as the template for your model.

 

2. Instantiate Model Elements:

• – The Model Editor opens and receives the focus.
• – Use the left panel to create elements like Person and Organization from the metamodel into the canvas.
• – Fill in attribute values (e.g., name = “Alice”, age = 30) for the Person instance using the Properties Tabs on the right.
• – Set the reference in Person (belongsTo) equal to the Organization instance
