Overview

ReverseMDA is a Visual Studio extension that automates the extraction of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) models, specifically Platform-Independent Models (PIM) and Platform Models (PM), from .NET applications using Large Language Models (LLMs).

Getting Started

To extract models from a .NET project:

1. Open your target solution in Visual Studio.

2. Navigate to Tools > ReverseMDA to launch the extension.

3. Choose analysis configuration:

• Analysis mode (Automatic or Expert Validation).
• Select LLM (GPT or Ollama local model). If using GPT, enter your API key (note: keys are never stored).

4. Once analysis is complete, a new directory will be created in your project root containing the extracted model artifacts.

5. You can view the generated models directly within Visual Studio, in a browser, or by copying the PlantUML code into the PlantUML online editor.
