IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering
Using IBM Rhapsody in conjunction with SysML v2 for Advanced Systems Engineering Application. IBM is pleased to present a web-based solution designed specifically for systems engineering teams: IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering. It enables them to leverage growing design complexity into a competitive advantage and provide their end users with smarter, more sophisticated, more competitive solutions.
Systems by their very nature become more complicated over time as new capabilities are introduced more quickly than old ones are eliminated, both during the initial design phase and during update design. A system becomes harder to understand as complexity rises, which raises the degree of unpredictability. Emergence of new behaviors might have unanticipated and even disastrous consequences. But without complexity, “everyone could do it” when it comes to competitive products and solutions.
Based on a number of important technologies, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering enables clients to strike a balance between complexity and competitiveness. Modern web technologies, the standard SysML v2 modeling language for systems engineering, and integration with digital threads and other engineering disciplines are some of these major technologies.
Web-based program, developed from the bottom up
For all members of the systems engineering team, including practitioners and reviewers, domain architects, compliance and security officers, design partners, and suppliers, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering provides contemporary and user-friendly workflows. A web browser and a URL are all you need to use the program. The quick and easy installation, configuration, and maintenance of product components that are given in containers is advantageous to administrators.
Based on SysML V2
Systems Engineering at IBM Rhapsody deploys SysML V2. Working with SysML V2 textual representations of the models, this modeling language allows practitioners to build complex systems graphically using specialized graphic editors, adjustable browsers, and a rich, configurable set of completeness and correctness tests.
Rhapsody Systems Engineering can be tailored by professionals in tools and methods to assist workflows and processes both inside and across projects within an organization. This modification extends much beyond the SysML V2 standard to include user-defined extensions that employ the various APIs, like Python or JavaScript. It offers modeling guidelines and a uniform experience across the entire enterprise.
SysML v2
SysML v2 is a systems engineering modeling language update. SystemML v2 is being developed to improve on SysML v1 and make it a more robust, versatile, and efficient modeling language for complex systems. Improve model interoperability, usability, and expressiveness with SysML v2.
SysML 2 Tools
Tools and environments expected to support or being developed for SysML v2 include:
- Dassault Systèmes’ Cameo Systems Modeler is a popular SysML-supporting systems engineering tool. These new capabilities are expected to improve model-based systems engineering in Cameo with SysML v2.
- MagicDraw: Dassault Systèmes’ award-winning business process, architectural, software, and system modeling tool supports UML, BPMN, and SysML. SysML v2 support is anticipated in future releases.
- Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect: Sparx Systems’ modeling tool supports SysML and other languages. SysML v2 support is expected in the platform release.
- SysML support is extensive in Papyrus, an open-source model-based engineering tool. SysML v2 support is being added by the developer community.
- OpenMBEE: OpenMBEE is an open-source model-based engineering ecosystem. It should support SysML v2 and integrate with engineering tools and environments.
- Phoenix Integration’s ModelCenter allows engineering tool and model integration. It may use SysML v2 to improve system modeling.
- No Magic Modeling Solutions: Dassault Systèmes ecosystem solutions like Cameo Enterprise Architecture should support SysML v2. System-of-systems engineering is among their many modeling skills.
Future of SysML v2
The creation of SysML v2 advances systems engineering. It should meet complicated system development needs and give developers a more powerful language. Systems engineers will benefit from improved capabilities, integration, and model robustness when tools and environments adopt SysML v2.
A component of the Engineering Lifecycle Management system from IBM
For the purpose of taking part in an open, federated, and versioned digital thread for engineering artifacts, including support for global configurations, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering connects with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM). It integrates with downstream engineering domains like software design with production code generation, using Siemens Xcelerator portfolio for E/E, H/W, and mechanical design, and IBM Rhapsody Developer and Designer. Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) or other APIs are used for this integration. Customers can manage digital threads that span many domains and connect systems engineering and downstream design domains with this integration.

The new standard for model-based systems engineering languages, contemporary web-based user experiences and workflows, and connections with other engineering domains and digital threads are all provided by IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering. It gives systems engineering teams the ability to become more competitive while controlling the risks involved in designing intricate systems and systems of systems. It assists in “guiding and orchestrating the entire technical effort, including hardware, software, test, and specialty engineering to ensure the solution satisfies its stakeholder needs and expectations,” according to INCOSE’s definition in their 2035 vision paper.
