Purpose of Structural Models

The organization of a system in terms of the components that make it up and their relationships

Explanation

Structural models display the organization of a system in terms of the components that make up that system and their relationships. Structural models may be static (showing the organization of the system design) or dynamic (showing the organization of the system when it is executing). These are different things — the dynamic organization as a set of interacting threads may be very different from a static model of the system components.
