How do you access and start using the BESSER Web Modeling Editor?

Updated

Open editor.besser-pearl.org directly in a modern web browser. That hostname is the editor itself, so there is no separate product page to navigate through first. You land in the modeling environment and can begin working from there.

Accessing the editor

  1. Enter editor.besser-pearl.org in the address bar.
  2. Wait for the editor interface to load.
  3. Start a new model or open an existing one from the options the interface presents.

Because the editor runs in the browser, the practical requirements are a current browser and a working internet connection. No installation step is described on the site itself.

Getting oriented after it loads

The exact layout depends on the version served at that address, so treat the following as orientation rather than a fixed menu map:

  • Canvas or diagram area — where you place and connect model elements.
  • Toolbar or palette — where element types and actions are offered.
  • Project or file controls — where you create, open, save, or export a model.

If you are new to the tool, the fastest way to learn it is to build something small: create one class or one element, add a relationship, then try saving or exporting. That single loop exposes most of the controls you will use later.

A sensible first session

Step Action What to check
1 Open the editor Interface loads without errors
2 Create a new model A blank canvas or project appears
3 Add one or two elements Elements render and can be selected
4 Connect them Relationships behave as expected
5 Save or export The available option completes successfully

Common sticking points

  • Nothing loads. Try a different browser or disable extensions that block scripts.
  • You cannot find a save option. Saving and exporting are handled by whatever controls the live page exposes; check the toolbar and any project menu before assuming the feature is missing.
  • You are unsure what to model. The editor is a general modeling environment, so start with a domain you already understand rather than an abstract example.

What to keep in mind

The editor is reached at its own address, so bookmarking editor.besser-pearl.org is the simplest way back. Features, storage behavior, and export formats are determined by the version currently deployed, so verify them in the interface rather than relying on a fixed description.
