Component-based working with models – LemonTree.Components

LemonTree.Components brings the principle of modular software development to the world of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) – similar to the use of reusable software libraries.

Instead of working with one large overall model, companies can break their models down into clear, stable, and reusable submodels. This increases flexibility, clarity, and quality throughout the entire development process.

 

 

Core Function
  • Define submodels: Break down the overall Enterprise Architect model into clearly defined, logically related components.
  • Promote reuse: Model parts that have already been developed can be used in multiple projects.
  • Enable parallel development: Teams can work independently on different components without blocking the main model.
  • Read-only components: Approved model parts remain stable and unchanged, while dependent developments can be continued flexibly.
Benefits For Users
  • Greater clarity and maintainability: Smaller, focused submodels facilitate understanding, maintenance, and versioning.
  • Secure collaboration: All participants work with the same verified component versions.
  • Reliable integration: When merging into the overall model, LemonTree automatically detects changes and displays them transparently.
  • Flexibility and stability: Protected core components ensure security, while modular additions provide agility.
Advantages Of LemonTree
  • Model modularization at component level
    Reuse of model parts in multiple projects
  • Parallel working without blockages in the main model
  • Read-only, quality-assured components
  • Transparent integration and automatic detection of changes
  • Consistency and traceability across all submodels

With LemonTree.Components, modeling becomes modular, reusable, and scalable — just like software development with libraries — as required by modern product and platform strategies.
