This paper describes a domain independent tool, named, UML Model Generator from Analysis of Requirements (UMGAR), which generates UML models like the Use-case Diagram, Analysis class model, Collaboration diagram and Design class model from natural language requirements using efficient Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. UMGAR implements a set of syntactic reconstruction rules to process complex requirements into simple requirements. UMGAR also provides a generic XMI parser to generate XMI files for visualizing the generated models in any UML modeling tool. With respect to the existing tools in this area, UMGAR provides more comprehensive support for generating models with proper relationships, which can be used for large requirement documents.
