What it is

Modelio is a modeling environment for enterprise architecture, process modeling, software development, and systems engineering. It supports UML, BPMN, ArchiMate, SysML, and TOGAF, with consistency checks to help identify issues across models. BPMN work can be integrated with other supported standards, including UML. The free Modelio Open Source plan provides the modeling environment, though downloadable extensions may require separate licenses. Modelio 5.4.1 adds ArchiMate 3.2 support, diagram thumbnails, and diagram traceability. The desktop app runs on Windows and Linux, with listed packages for Windows 8.1/10/11 and several Linux distributions. XMI is available for import and export, and diagrams can be exported to HTML. Extensibility includes a Java API, Jython macros, extension modules, and Eclipse integration.
