Introduction

As part of this tutorial, the trainee will:

• Learn how to download and install Papyrus UMLLight.
• Become familiar with the various aspects of the modeling environment such as workspaces, menus, views, perspectives and palettes.
• Become familiar with the elements that make up the“Papyrus UMLLight” subset.
• Through the implementation of a sample modeling project, become familiar with a simple model development approach that will enable you to use the elements that are part of the Papyrus UMLLight subset.

At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to apply their acquired knowledge in real project.
