Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers

Features
System requirements (US)

A collaborative, model-based systems engineering development environment

IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Designer for Systems Engineers is a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) environment using the industry-standard Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and Unified Modeling Language (UML). It helps you adapt to changing customer requirements, improves productivity and reduces time-to-market with advanced validation and simulation features.

Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers provides:

Simulation and model execution—to validate system behavior early
Requirements analysis and traceability—to perform trade studies and design structural and behavioral aspects of your systems.
Team collaboration—to manage the complexity of developing consistent designs across different environments.
Visual development—to capture designs graphically, using industry-standard SysML and UML, or with Domain Specific Languages (DSL) such as AUTOSAR.
Lifecycle support and add-on software—to enable full product lifecycle development through integration with IBM Rational products and other software.

Simulation and model execution

Eliminate model defects earlier by using animation features for design-level debugging.
Debug design at a higher level of abstraction with animation support.
View highlighted active state in statecharts by injecting events, calling operations and stepping through the model.
Facilitate trade study analysis and architectural trade-offs using the parametric constraint solver for SysML parametric diagrams.
Automate requirements testing with IBM Rational TestConductor Add On to ensure consistency of design after requirements change.

Requirements analysis and traceability

Enable visualization of complex requirements and maintain design consistency with SysML and UML modeling.
Store requirements in design elements and test cases, providing traceability information within the model.
Support full requirements traceability to and from the design, allowing you to view how a requirement change impacts the design.
Support traceability to implementation through integration with IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer and IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Software.
Includes static model checking analysis, which helps improve model consistency and completeness.

Team collaboration

Allows you to share and review designs with the extended team using IBM Rational Design Manager.
Integrates design and development functions into one cohesive environment.
Features an advanced model browser to quickly sort, organize and edit models.
Includes graphical model comparisons and merging of model elements to enable teams to work in parallel.

Visual development

Enables visualization of complex requirements with UML, SysML AUTOSAR, Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time Embedded systems (MARTE) or DDS.
Supports DSL for creating unique diagrams and diagram elements.
Improves design consistency with the static model checking analysis.

Lifecycle support and add-on software

Integrate with IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational Systems Architect, IBM Rational Team Concert™ and IBM Rational ClearCase®.
Create artifacts for US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), British Ministry of Defense Architectural Framework (MODAF) and Unified Profile for DoDAF/MODAF (UPDM).
Develop graphical panels for visual mock ups of a design using IBM Rational Rhapsody Tools and Utilities Add On software.
Interface to requirements management tools such as Rational DOORS, IBM Rational RequisitePro® and other requirements authoring tools.
