Software Ecosystems (SECO) are a set of actors and components that work as a unit, relating based on a common interest to provide solutions or services for the software industry. SECO can be called a set of actors that interact with each other, in a community and with a unit that, in turn, interact with a market distributed between software and services, along with the relationships between the most varied entities. The SSN notation - Software Supply Network, that is, the diagram of software supply networks, is a series of software, hardware and linked service organizations that cooperate to meet the demands of the market. For a better visualization and understanding of an SECO, recent studies propose the modeling of the network formed, however, there is still no formalized modeling pattern for this area. A problem in the literature is the lack of support for modeling using the SSN notation, lack of available models and model maintenance in general, as well as the use of the suggested notation correctly. This gap on the issue of support for modeling, in terms of the modeling tool that so recently was eminent in the literature, is no longer so strong, with the ECOS Modeling tool. In this context, the research carried out by this objective work intends to evolve the ECOS Modeling tool that already exists in the literature, merging it with the ARIEL tool, that is, a community-only environment, to disseminate it and support modeling in order to provide the community with its own environment that facilitates its growth and dissemination. This work also proposes a validation of the ECOS Modeling tool in the educational context, applying the concepts of SECO in SE disciplines in order to present the SECO environment to the students, analyzing the impact of teaching and also the impact of the modeling environment and model repository in the community. The ECOS Modeling 3.0 tool appears with the aim of grouping models developed by researchers, so that the community can collaborate to disseminate and boost the growth of the area. In addition, there is the main issue, which is the modeling of SECO, that is, the creation of models, functionality that already exists in version 1.0 of the tool. The new features of the tool include querying models and realizing the importance of building an adequate model, in addition to expanding the tool.
