An object-oriented model (OOM) helps you analyze an information system through use cases, structural and behavioral analyses, and in terms of deployment, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). You can model, reverse-engineer, and generate for Java, .NET and other languages.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the standard language for object-oriented modeling. It was originally devised by Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson, and is now controlled by the OMG (Object Management Group).
PowerDesigner® supports the following UML diagrams:
)- Structural Diagrams:
)
)
)
)- Dynamic Diagrams:
- Implementation Diagrams:

In the picture below, you can see how the various UML diagrams can interact within your model:
PowerDesigner
