What is IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering?

Advanced systems are becoming increasingly complex, making their behavior less predictable. Why? Because a system consists of other systems, subsystems, nested or parallel systems, or any combination thereof. And these units are not static; they act and interact with other units within or outside the system. As a result, new behaviors emerge that often come with unintended and potentially disastrous side effects. Here's how IBM Rhapsody SE helps your systems engineering team to manage those risk efficiently.

Built to support SysML V2

IBM Rhapsody SE supports the new SysML V2 standard, helping practitioners design complex systems graphically, with dedicated graphic editors, customizable browsers and a configurable set of completeness and correctness checks. It also supports adding elements specified  with SysML V2 textual representations, which you can easily transform into a graphic modeling  representation. Furthermore, IBM Rhapsody SE can be customized to support any specific processes and workflows needed.

Cloud-native, web-based solution

IBM Rhapsody SE can be used with just a web browser, making it easy to access and use for everyone in the team: systems engineering practitioners and reviewers, domain architects, compliance and security officers, design partners and suppliers. The advantage for administrators lies in the modern container-based architecture, which makes installation, configuration, and updating quick and easy.

One-stop: SodiusWillert

Turn to SodiusWillert for your complete and perfectly tailored IBM Rhapsody SE solution. Tap into our deep expertise acquired in many successful customer projects. We offer support for deployment, usage workshops, training, customization, individual add-ons or enhancements, and integration into your lifecycle environment. We are an IBM development partner enabling IBM to deliver several addons for IBM Rhapsody SE.

Faster time to market

Reduce adaptation time and effort by customizing system models and architectures for downstream teams involved in the engineering lifecycle. This allows these teams to focus on implementation and optimization without having to spend time preparing engineering artifacts for their actual tasks.

Precision and effectiveness

With SysML V2 it becomes easier to model requirements, constraints and relationships clearly and non-ambiguously. As a result, the quality of your designs will improve, your engineering processes will operate more efficiently, and the quality of your deliverables will improve.

Web-based collaboration

IBM Rhapsody SE enables all stakeholders to collaborate seamlessly and in real-time, with access to up-to-date original information at any time. Your teams will benefit from being able to take informed decisions faster, focus on innovation and from incorporating all perspectives throughout the development process. 

Seamless alignment across engineering domains

IBM Rhapsody SE makes it easier for cross-functional teams to design and coordinate their expert tasks thanks to improved communication and alignment across engineering disciplines, domains, practitioners and stakeholders. This approach helps ensure that the solution meets stakeholder expectations and satisfies customers.

Cross-domain digital thread across the development lifecycle

IBM Rhapsody SE is designed to mitigate the negative impacts of data silos in engineering teams. Its linked data architecture is based on the open standard Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) and enables teams to manage all relations to requirements, quality tests, workflow management seamless across domains and in the context of versioned data. Connect your Global Configuration to ensure consistent baselines and development streams across all engineering disciplines.

IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering -- Highlights

Designed for native SysML V2 support

IBM Rhapsody SE supports SysML V2 in both its graphical and textual representations with special graphics editors, customizable browsers, and a configurable set of completeness and correctness checks. To ensure a consistent experience and modeling guidelines within and across projects in an organization, tool and method experts can customize the tool to support the specific processes and workflows needed.

Web-based solution

IBM Rhapsody SE offers comprehensive support for everyone in the team, including systems engineering practitioners and reviewers, domain architects, compliance and security officers, design partners and suppliers. Regardless of which device you prefer, be it Windows, MacOS, Android, or iOS, all you need is a web browser and a URL to access the tool. Administrators benefit from it too, since the product is delivered as containers, easing the speed and simplicity of installation and product configuration.

 

Harmony Model-Based Engineering

Harmony model-based engineering (HarmonyMBE) is an iteration of the Harmony workflow that simplifies SysML V2 model development and analysis workflows, providing a prescriptive process empowered by automations that reduce the amount of manual work required to create correct and consistent models for complex real-word systems and systems-of-systems. 

Part of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management solution

IBM Rhapsody SE can be integrated with IBM ELM's open, federated, versioned digital thread for engineering artifacts, including its support for Global Configurations. It integrates through open services for lifecycle collaboration (OSLC) or other APIs with other downstream engineering domains, such as software design with production code generation, allowing customers to manage cross domain digital threads.
