Chapter 11 Managing Transformations

Applying transformations in a model

Transformations can also be applied in a model as a sort of design pattern. You can design a pattern using the transformation feature and "play" it in your model in order to modify objects, without having to use the generation feature.

For example, if you are working in an OOM, you can create a transformation that converts all analysis classes with the <<control>> stereotype into components in order to add an implementation layer to your model.

There are two methods for applying transformations in a model without using the generation feature:

• You can add a transformation as a command in the contextual menu of an object
• You can apply transformations to the current model using the Apply Transformations feature available in the Tools menu
