Publisher for Rhapsody to Cameo MagicDraw

TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS IN AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

One product. Two tools. No manual work.

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody eliminates the processes that require engineers to manually recreate complex systems models when programs change tooling requirements.

Fully automated conversion

Convert complete SysML, UML, or UPDM models, including all elements, diagrams, structure, and hierarchy, in a single push of a button. No manual re-creation needed.

Bidirectional transformation

Transform models in both direction Rhapsody to Cameo, and Cameo to Rhapsody. Using unique identifiers, iterative scenarios are handled seamlessly, and preserve model accuracy on both sides. Each direction is licensed separately so you only pay for what you need.

Data integrity guaranteed

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody built-on model checking feature identifies, logs, and reports inconsistencies in the source model before conversion. Your target models come back clean, validated, and ready to use.

Secure and local

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody runs locally inside your classified or enterprise environment. No model data is ever uploaded externally. Your IP remains yours.

Convert diagrams with layout fidelity

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody converts UML and SysML diagrams from Rhapsody into Cameo / MagicDraw. It maintains content, layout, and modeler intent while adopting Cameo / MagicDraw's styling conventions. Configurable layout options for full control.

Model checking and validation reporting

Leverage the model-checking feature to identify, log, and report inconsistencies in the source model. One simple example is if some SysML ports/pins are incorrectly typed (type mismatch), in the source model, this will be transferred to the target model. This feature allows you to save time reworking or cleaning up your target models manually and can improve model quality.

Other capabilities for a complete model conversion

OSLC Links to IBM DOORS Next - Export Add-On

Export OSLC traceability links between IBM Rhapsody elements and IBM DOORS Next requirements directly into your Cameo model. Links are preserved as proxy requirements and OSLC hyperlinks, allowing you to navigate from Cameo directly to the exact requirement and version in DOORS Next, maintaining full traceability through the migration.

Profile Management

Export SysML profiles from Rhapsody and import them into Cameo. Profile swap capability lets you substitute profiles during transformation to align with your Cameo environment.

Configurable Diagram Defaults

Control the display styling of published artifacts via two configuration files. Address your project's MagicDraw style rules without modifying your Rhapsody source model.

Model Pruning

Select and transform only the portions of the model you need. Reduce transformation time and output size for large enterprise models.

BENEFITS

Real ROI. Proven in the field.

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody is trusted by some of the most demanding engineering programs in the world.

One US Army project that would have taken 2 years manually was completed in 2 months with Publisher for IBM Rhapsody. A 12x reduction in effort.

A customer migrated over 800,000 SysML elements from Rhapsody to Cameo in under 9 hours, with no data loss.

HOW IT WORKS

From IBM Rhapsody to Cameo Systems Modeler in four steps

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody is designed to be a push-button experience. Here's the process from installation to a fully converted, ready-to-use model.

Install and configure

Install Publisher as a plugin in your Rhapsody environment. Configure your two style files to define how diagrams and artifacts should appear in the target Cameo model.

Model check and validate

Publisher runs automated model checking on your source Rhapsody model. It identifies and logs any inconsistency before conversion begins to give you a clean, validated starting point.

Publish with one click

Push the conversion from within Rhapsody. Publisher automatically exports your entire model including all elements, diagrams, hierarchies, and relationships, to a ready-to-use CAMEO .md.zip file.

Use, iterate, repeat

Open the converted model in Cameo Systems Modeler, or publish to Teamwork Cloud. For roundtrip scenarios, use UID tracking to sync changes back to Rhapsody on the next iteration.
