Software Ideas Modeler is a UML diagramming tool.

UML diagrams are used in professional software development. The diagrams allow developers to see the big picture without all the distracting details in source code or before a single line of code has been written.

Fpelletier added SIM to the database about an year ago but didn't create a thread in the forums. Now, one day after the release of SIM 5.00, I decided to finally create a thread for it.

In spring 2011, I was looking for a portable UML tool with GNU/Linux support. I only found BOUML and SIM, and BOUML is discontinued. SIM requires .NET 3.5, but it's not a problem for me.

Besides fulfilling my basic requirements, SIM is also able to create some non-UML diagrams including UI mockups. In addition, it's quite lightweight: some tools (especially well know ones like astah*) require a couple hundred megabytes of disk space, while SIM only takes about eight (v5) or five (v4) megabytes.

As the system seems to be gaining some traction in areas beyond just development, would be nice to have a UML tool here on the site. Good add.

I haven't had time to track updates for some time, and I missed Ascend4nt's comment about Software Ideas Modeler 6.

Anyway, SIM is now at version 6.12. I have updated the entry. Here is the release announcement of SIM 6: http://www.softwareideas.net/a/124/Sixth-Major-Version---Modern-Diagramming-Tool
