Model in Archi with the Atlas profile

Download the Atlas Archi template and save it on your computer. The file stays with you; Atlas does not store your Archi model.

In Archi, choose File → New → Model From Template, choose Open..., select the downloaded .architemplate file, and press Finish to create a model from Atlas profile. It contains Atlas specializations, the model property Atlas profile version, and six example views: Application Cooperation, Application Usage, Capability Map with Value Stream, Information Structure, Goal and Requirements Realization, and Layered.

Use the example elements and relationships as a starting point. When you add an element that needs an Atlas subtype, assign its matching Archi profile in the element's properties. Keep a copy of your .archimate model file for later exchange with Atlas.
