Getting started and modelling

Launch your installed Ramus application. Start with a copy of a model and save your own project file.

Open Ramus. This example creates an “Order processing” project using IDEF0.

Open an IDEF0 diagram. A block represents an activity; name it with an action, such as “Accept order”.

Open an IDEF0 diagram containing blocks. Arrows show the data and objects an activity uses or produces.

Open an IDEF0 model and select the block whose activity you want to describe in more detail.

Create a separate model with File → New project and select DFD. DFD arrows represent data flows between processes, data stores and external entities.

Open a project. Catalogs hold reusable model elements, while attributes describe their properties.

For this example, prepare a “Documents” catalog with a “Cost” attribute and populated elements.

Open a model and save your changes. An .rsf file contains the project, while diagram export and printing create representations of it.
