The PowerDesigner modeling environment supports several types of models:
♦&RQFHSWXDO 'DWD 0RGHO &'0 to model the overall logical structure of a data application, independent from any software or data storage structure considerations
♦3K\VLFDO 'DWD 0RGHO 3'0 to model the overall physical structure of a database, taking into account DBMS software or data storage structure considerations
♦2EMHFW 2ULHQWHG 0RGHO 220 to model a software system using an object-oriented approach for Java or other object languages
♦%XVLQHVV 3URFHVV 0RGHO %30 to model the means by which one or more processes are accomplished in operating business practices
♦)UHH 0RGHO )(0 to create any kind of chart diagram, in a contextfree environment

General Features Guide
PowerDesigner documentation uses specific typefaces to help you readily identify specific items:
♦monospace text (normal and EROG)
Used for: Code samples, commands, compiled functions and files, references to variables.
Example: declare user_defined…, the
%HIRUH,QVHUW7ULJJHU template.
♦UPPER CASE
Object codes, reversed objects, file names + extension.
Example: The AUTHOR table appears in the Browser. Open the file OOMAFTER.OOM.
♦EROG WH[W
Any new term.
Example: A VKRUWFXW has a target object.
♦SMALL CAPS
Any key name.
Example: Press the ENTER key.
