Tool for database design

What's the best tool for figuring out database design of an already created database on a SQL Server?

I know about Erwin data modeler tool. Not sure how to use it. Do we have to install it on the SQL Server?

IN SQL Server you can click on the "Database Diagrams" node in SQL Enterprise Manager, install the admin tables it asks for, and create an ERD diagrams from the existing tables schema...
