Abstract—In today’s software development process (SDP) it is necessary to do much preparatory work to achieve a good quality of the software. Besides the requirements engineering the design process is very important. The designer can describe all aspects of the software to be built. Excellent designing skills and the question “What makes a ‘good’ software?” are essential to create a competent “cookbook”. The plugin presented in this paper shall support designer using Visual Paradigm (VP) as a modeling-tool during their modeling process. Based on given attributes in the Class Diagram the plugin can generate and optimize intelligently a Component Diagram.

Index Terms—Software modeling, plugin for visual paradigm, software design, software component.
