I wonder if there is way to create an array of objects in UML?
the following is my try using Modelio as a modeling environment but as you can see there is different objects(i.e. instance[0],instance 1],instance[2],instance[3])

Multiplicity is represented as a number and a * is used to represent a multiplicity of many.
The number of instances of a class that can be linked by a particular association to a single instance of the class at the other end of the association is known as the multiplicity of the association at the end.
In UML, multiplicity describes how many instances of one class can be connected to an instance of another class through a given association. This relation is often expressed as a string showing the lower and upper bounds at the endpoints of a connection.
As you know there are two ways to show UML attributes in class diagrams: attribute text and association notation.
Consider an example of a company and employees. Two valid class diagrams are:
Now let's try to draw the corresponding object diagrams:
If the details of the fulltime_employees like age are important, there is no other way but to show them as separate objects:
If details are not important, we could go with attribute text notation:
Another way of showing it when number of objects is more (let's say 5 here): (This is also the general way to show multiplicities in object diagrams)
Hope it helps.
