Mathematical models are an effective tool for studying the properties of complex systems. Constructing such models is a challenging task that often uses repeated patterns or templates. The Template Models Description Language (TMDL) has been developed to clearly define model templates that are used to generate model instances from the template specification. This paper describes the tool support that is being developed for applying the TDML approach with Stochastic Activity Networks (SANs) models. In particular, this paper details a graphical editor for SAN templates, which assists users in creating template-level models based on SANs. From these specifications, it will be possible to generate by model-transformation the subsequent instance-level models, which can be studied by simulation or analytical tools.
