A software model consists of many elements and diagrams. Grouping these elements and diagrams for efficient management is very important. StarUML™ supports three types of grouping elements (models, subsystems and packages), which the user can use appropriately according to each purpose.

Grouping Elements Provided in StarUML™

Grouping Element	Description
Model	Model expresses the physical system for specific purposes (aspects). For example, it can express a specific aspect of the system (e.g. analysis aspect, design aspect, user aspect, etc.).
Subsystem	Subsystem groups the elements that specify the entire physical system or parts of it.
Package	Package logically groups and manages model elements. It is an extremely generalized element that can be used in any way for organizing elements.
