MacA&D and WinA&D Videos

The movies on this page were created with WinA&D running on Windows Vista. The information they convey is essentially the same when running WinA&D on XP or MacA&D on Mac OS X.

Use WinA&D or MacA&D for system models and simulation, requirements management, software design, code generation and flexible reports. These tools support structured analysis and design, object-oriented analysis and design, data modeling, real-time or multi-task design.

WinA&D and MacA&D are available as a Single User, 5-User Site or Unlimited User Site license. See price and ordering information or request a Product Data Sheet.

Introduction
Get a quick overview of what you can do with WinA&D. Look at sample projects for structured analysis and design, UML design, data model with SQL generation, requirements management and system model with simulation.
Getting Started
After you install WinA&D, where do you start? Take a look at sample projects, PDF guides, help system and application preferences.
Run on Vista or Standard User Account
The default location for sample projects and data files is within the program files directory. To run from Windows Vista or a standard user account, you'll need to relocate these files elsewhere on disk with a few button clicks.
Create a Project
Learn the basics to create any kind of project, open and save documents or close the project. Add a new document to an existing project.
Data Flow Diagrams
Learn how to draw data flow diagrams that show the flow and transformation of data through a system. Navigate between diagrams and learn your way around a typical project.
Class Diagram
Draw a class diagram showing classes, relationships, attributes and operations. Add some details about class members and generate source code linked directly to the model.
Requirements Management
Learn the basic of managing requirements. Define requirement entries with a user controlled definition dialog. Analyze requirement data with custom views and queries in the Requirements Matrix window.
Create System Model
Draw a simple causal loop diagram, add variables and equations, then simulate the model. Use the data file editor to view output data.
Bank Account Simulation
Review a causal loop diagram with variables and equations. Run a simulation with different input data and present output results in a table or graph.
