Rational Rhapsody 10.0.1
Design of IBM Engineering Systems Strong model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools like Rhapsody make it easier to design, analyze, and validate complex systems and create software based on those models. The complete product development lifecycle, including specification, development, testing, and delivery, is easily integrated into Rhapsody thanks to its strong support for the unified modeling language (UML) and systems modeling language (SysML).
IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody
Deliver software and systems of higher quality more quickly with digital threading across domains, production code generation, smooth simulation, and reliable modeling.
What services does Rhapsody offer?
With its suite of tools, IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody (formerly known as Rational Rhapsody) provides a tried-and-true method for modeling and systems design tasks, enabling you to handle the complexity that many organizations encounter while developing new products and systems. Rhapsody is a component of the IBM Engineering portfolio, offering systems engineers a collaborative design, development, and testing environment that supports AUTOSAR import and export capabilities along with UML, SysML, and UAF. Furthermore, the solution speeds up industry standards like ISO 26262, DO-178, DO-178B/C, and UPDM and permits control of defense frameworks like DoDAF, MODAF, and UPDM.
Advantages
Provides ongoing validation
Utilize quick simulation, prototyping, and execution to get ongoing validation and address mistakes early on, when they can be fixed more affordably.
Offers automated consistency verification
Employ collaborative reuse and automatic consistency checking to boost agility and lower recurring and non-recurring expenses.
Work together with your engineering group
With the use of design tools like Mathworks Simulink or Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody, you can share, work with, and evaluate your engineering lifecycle artifacts with the larger engineering team.
Usability
Simplify the design process with a cutting-edge UX that lets you customize the tool interface to your own requirements and tastes, making model visualization simpler.
Crucial characteristics of IBM Rhapsody goods
Examine and clarify the project’s needs
System specifications, interface design papers, and system test cases are automatically generated by the software using SysML, UML, UAF, and AUTOSAR import and export capabilities.
Go from design to implementation quickly
With the use of UML, it provides an affordable comprehensive software engineering environment for graphically designing C++, C, or Java applications.
Create documentation and automate design reviews
Using a central repository accessible via the web, Rhapsody – Model Manager facilitates cross-disciplinary team collaboration, sharing, review, and management of designs and models. Customers and suppliers can use a web client to access information. The program streamlines stakeholder communication, expedites decision-making, and enhances quality by automating design evaluations. Comprehensive documentation can be produced for reporting, compliance, communication, and specifications.
Develop, model, and implement designs for early verification
In addition to having all the features of Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers, Rhapsody – Designer for Systems Engineers enables you to simulate, prototype, and carry out designs for early requirements, architecture, and behavior validation. This is a model-based system engineering (MBSE) environment that makes use of the widely used SysML and UML frameworks. With enhanced validation and simulation, it shortens time-to-market, increases productivity, and helps you adjust to changing client requirements.
Engage in an agile engineering environment that is embedded and real-time
Agile software engineering environment for C++, C, Java, and Ada that is embedded and real-time (includes MISRA-C and MISRA-C++) is provided by Rhapsody – Developer. Along with the features of IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody (Rational Rhapsody) – Architect for Software, it offers fast prototyping and simulation for design-level debugging, automated build generation for continuous integration, and support for safety-critical software lifecycle issues.
Allow for the smooth integration of the AUTOSAR standard. The AUTOSAR Extension is a part of IBM Rhapsody Model-Driven Development (MDD). This potent combination streamlines and expedites the process of developing automotive software, freeing up developers to concentrate on building reliable and effective solutions that satisfy the stringent demands of the modern industry.
Rhapsody 10.0.1
IBM is pleased to announce the introduction of IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody version 10.0.1, which includes several new features and changes aimed at optimizing usability, automation, and integration.
Improved DOORS 9 integration promotes consistency and productivity
Rhapsody 10.0.1 enhances accuracy, traceability, and smoother operations by providing closer connection with the IBM Requirements Management DOORS system.
The new ReqXChanger interaction with DOORS 9 is crucial to this release. With better requirement visualization and traceability straight within Rhapsody, ReqXChanger replaces the Rhapsody Gateway and enables a more efficient workflow between Rhapsody and DOORS.
With seamless movement across the digital thread connecting DOORS and Rhapsody, users can now access and inspect model diagrams and elements in DOORS 9. The transition to the improved functionality is easy and seamless.
Change-aware synchronization maintains requirements and model in sync between Rhapsody 10.0.1 and DOORS 9, reducing effort and complexity in tracking changes in artifacts. To fit the unique requirements and surroundings of the users, this synchronization can be automated and tailored.
Extending IBM collaboration with Siemens to improve systems design through automation and integration
IBM has one major enhancement in this release as part of our continued collaboration between the Siemens and IBM product teams. By combining several components, this improvement aims to strengthen the digital thread and promote visibility, traceability, and interoperability.
Now, you may establish connections between Siemens Teamcenter specifications and parameters and model elements: To correlate Teamcenter requirements and parameters with model elements, choose them in the Rhapsody UI. Request the enabling plug-ins by contacting Siemens.
Significant improvements to workflows, usability, and testing
Better testing and usability are more important as system design complexity and interconnection increase. To address this difficulty, Rhapsody 10.0.1 has added new features and improved Test Conductor, such as increased test case coverage that offers a thorough rundown of all test cases. By transferring message-related test scenarios across multiple architectures, a technical preview of Message Mapper further streamlines scenario mapping.
Additional parallel development prompts improve design process efficiency by warning users when they are working with out-of-date model versions, streamlining merge operations, and fostering better teamwork. The product interface has been improved, allowing for more menu controls, such as toolbar and pop-up menu items, to enable complex customisation.
Rhapsody 10.0.1’s enhancements to the Rhapsody AUTOSAR Extension aid teams in managing challenging projects and increasing output. The installation package includes updated example models that are useful for understanding and implementing AUTOSAR standards.
