[cosmic-users] possibilities to import UML diagrams

I think there is no model (and therefore, no dedicated GME folder) as 
such of MPC. The MPC file generator interpreter finds all the necessary 
information from the PICML model itself.

The first approach sounds non-trivial to me compared to the second if 
your goal it to generate CCM descriptors. GME folks might be able to 
help you more with the format. You can send email to 
gme-users at list.isis.vanderbilt.edu. You can subscribe to the list from

thanks,

Sumant.
