Use com.nomagic.magicdraw.uml.Finder for finding elements by the name or type (meta-type) in a project. This utility class provides several internal finders for executing different types of search operations.

For example:

   Project project = ...;
   //find a Model element under the project primary model with a name "MyModel". It is not a recursive search
   Model model = Finder.byName().find(project.getPrimaryModel(), Model.class, "MyModel");
   //find a first Model element under project primary model with a name "MyModel". It is a recursive search.
   Model model = Finder.byNameRecursively().find(project.getPrimaryModel(), Model.class, "MyModel");
   //find all Model elements under project primary model with a name "MyModel". It is a recursive search.
   Collection<Model> models = Finder.byNameAllRecursively().find(project.getPrimaryModel(), Model.class, "MyModel");
