This work adds a native Apple Silicon port of Modelio 6.2. OpenAI Codex, using GPT-5.6 Sol, investigated, implemented, built, and functionally validated the port through an autonomous coding task. A human maintainer defined the objective and approved the final result.

We are pleased to announce the release of Modelio 6.2
Modelio 6.2 introduces a series of major improvements focused on usability and model exploration. The flagship addition is a brand-new visual query tool that allows all users,technical or not, to build powerful, targeted searches across their models without writing any code. Queries can be filtered by element type, name, properties, and relationships, making it significantly easier to navigate large and complex architectures. This release also brings automatic diagram layout, which intelligently reorganizes graphical elements using algorithms such as tree layout and overlap removal, and is accessible both interactively and through the module API for automation scenarios.
On the modeling side, ArchiMate support has been substantially strengthened: elements can now be transformed from one type to another while preserving their diagram positions, graphical representations have been updated for better standard compliance, and duplicate links are now correctly displayed on import. The links editor and diagram tooling have also received targeted refinements, including case-insensitive element search, link name display in unmask dialogs, and a more visible graphical properties panel. The bug fix stream across the 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 patch releases addresses stability in Teamwork collaboration, BPMN lane management, HTML notes editing, XMI import/export, and general diagram rendering.
Modelio is a modeling solution offering a wide range of functionality based on commonly used standards for enterprise architecture, software development and systems engineering.
Written for developers, analysts and software and systems architects, Modelio is first and foremost a modeling environment, supporting a wide range of models and diagrams and providing many services facilitating the modeling of your architectures, such as as model consistency-checking. Support for modeling and business processes (BPMN) is integrated into Modelio. These BPMN models can be linked to other standards supported by the tool, for example UML, so as to integrate these business processes into a larger context such as an enterprise architecture.
UML Modeler: Modelio is a first and foremost a modeling environment, supporting a wide range of models and diagrams, and providing model assistance and consistency-checking features. - BPMN support integrated with UML : Modelio combines BPMN support and UML support in one tool, with dedicated diagrams to support business process modeling. - Java code generator: The Java Designer module uses an RCP/Eclipse-style project file structure, and supports Java code generation and reverse, Javadoc generation and Java automation. - XMI import/export: Modelio provides an XMI import/export feature that enables you to exchange UML2 models between different tools. - HTML model publishing: With the HTML Publisher module, publish your models in HTML format. - Extension system: Modelio can be extended for any language, methodology or modeling technique just by adding modules to your configuration. You can either use existing modules or else develop your own. - Scripting language support (Jython): Modelio provides integrated support of the Jython scripting language, for online requests, small scripts and macro definition.
UML2: UML2 is a general-purpose modeling language from the OMG, used in the field of object-oriented software engineering. - BPMN2: BPMN is a standard for business process modeling, providing a graphical notation for the specification of business processes. - Archimate: Archimate is an open and independent enterprise architecture modeling language to support the description, analysis and visualization of architecture within and across business domains. - XMI:XMI is an OMG standard used in the exchange of metadata information via the XML language. - MDA: MDA is an OMG standard, which implements and uses model extensions in the development of software systems. - TOGAF:TOGAF is an enterprise architecture framework, providing a complete approach to enterprise information architecture design, planning, implementation and governance.
Here you will find a set of projects illustrating the main frameworks supported by Modelio.

The 'Discount Travel' project is an example of how to model the enterprise architecture of a travel agency to manage their reservation system.Archimate : Discount Travel for ArchiMate - A simple HTML browser, based on a swing JEditorPane component.JavaDesigner : Java Browser - In the Systems and Automation Department at Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) there is an experimental unit of industrial automation that is used to demonstrate the operation of several control strategies using the same equipments and supervision tools.SysML : The plant - This project contains the model for the Online Shopping Cart system, including all the models used to specify and realize the IT system. This model addresses the development of an online shopping cart system, that allows suppliers to sell their products directly online to customers. It is provided as a UML example covering the analysis of the business context and processes, and the design and deployment of a possible implementation.UML : Shopping Cart

There are many ways to get involved in the Modelio community, on whatever level you choose. For each type of contribution, we recommend a certain level of knowledge as a user (someone who has some knowledge of the Modelio tool, as well as modeling or standards such as UML, SOA, BPM, …) or a developer (someone with some knowledge of programming)
For more information, visit our community web page :

First you have to start Modelio by double-clicking on the Modelio shortcut. Once Modelio is started, go to 'File / Create a project…' or
click on the [[] button.
This will open a Project Creation dialog box:](/sertitech/Modelio/blob/macos-arm64/README/new-project-button.png)
Steps:
Enter a project name
Enter a description
You can choose whether to deploy the Java Designer module in your project by checking or not checking the Java project tickbox.

(Note: if you don’t see the Modelio layout above, but wish to continue with this Quick Start, expand your project in the Model pane until you see a folder icon with the same name as your project, and select "Create diagram…" from the context menu, typically by right-clicking on that icon.)
Key:
Choose the type of element you want to create from the diagram palette
Click in the diagram to position the new element. Click again on the element to rename it (or click on the F2 keyboard button)
From the UML model explorer
To create your first element, right-click on the root package and then on 'Create element'. Choose the kind of UML/BPMN element you want to create:
Sibling creation
To create a series of elements, simply select the original element in the model explorer, then click on sibling button as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created empty and named with an incremental number. Sibling elements are created within the same container.
Clone creation
To clone an element, simply select it in the UML/BPMN explorer, then click on clone button as many times as necessary. Each new element will be created with the same sub-elements as the original one, and will be named the same.
Note: By default, the wizard shows the applicable diagrams for the selected model element. Click on the "Show only applicable diagrams and matrices" to show all existing diagrams.
- Create elements in the diagram
To create elements in your diagram, you can either use the left hand side palette, or drag&drop existing elements from the UML explorer.
- Modify the graphic options
You can change the objects' graphic properties or the diagram’s properties itself. The symbol view offers several options to change the graphic properties: color, font, line background, …
