Interaction Frame

PreviousFound MessageNextUse Case Diagrams

Last updated 7 months ago

An Interaction Frame in a UML Sequence Diagram is a rectangular shape used to group related interactions or messages. In Modeldraw, you can use Interaction Frames to organize and structure your sequence diagrams, making them easier to understand and analyze.

Understanding Interaction Frame

An Interaction Frame represents a grouping of related interactions within a sequence diagram. Key characteristics include:

  • It is a rectangular shape that encloses a set of interactions

  • It has a name or label in the top-left corner

  • It can be used to represent different types of grouped interactions (e.g., alternatives, loops, optional sequences)

  • It helps in organizing complex diagrams by creating logical subdivisions
