Featured Helpers

Top 3 helpers included in Power Pack you absolutely need when using IBM Rhapsody.

Context Pattern Editor

The Context Pattern Editor simplifies the design of custom tables and queries in IBM Rhapsody.

With an intuitive environment, users can create and modify context patterns using pick lists, and edit different Tokens and Constraints, eliminating the need for manual context pattern writing.

 

Populate Diagram

IBM Rhapsody has a Populate function to add model elements to diagrams, but that has a few limitations that can make using it somewhat unwieldy.

The Populate Diagram helper from the SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody makes auto-population of diagrams easy and straightforward.

 

Create Model Elements from Copy Buffer

Sometimes, you may want to create model elements in bulk.

With Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody, you can automatically create model elements from the copy buffer. Copy any text and let this helper do the rest. You don't need to worry about removing illegal characters for IBM Rhapsody naming rules; this helper handles it for you.

Other Helpers Included in Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody

Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody includes over 50 different helpers designed to simplify working with IBM Rhapsody.

Delete Event / Type

With Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody, deleting events and types is straightforward. If references exist that prevent deletion, the Power Pack guides you to those references for review.

With a single action, you can delete the type or event and all its references, offering a one-click solution for removing these complex model elements.

Reverse Direction

Simple but extremely helpful: reverse the direction of any kind of relationship without having to redraw it (e.g. for associations, flows, and even for multiple relationships at once).





Change To

The "Change To" feature available in IBM Rhapsody is effective for single-model elements with a small number of target types.

For more realistic scenarios, Power Pack for Rhapsody provides an enhanced version that offers options to select and filter, making use of the Change To feature faster and more convenient.

Locate Messages and Lifelines

Navigating from a lifeline or a message on a sequence diagram to the corresponding model element in the Rhapsody model browser is easy -- as long as the element is not 'realized'. Once a lifeline or message is realized, locating it becomes impossible.

With Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody, you can locate realized messages and lifelines.

Locate Applied Stereotypes

Locating and navigating to stereotypes that have been applied to model elements is a cumbersome manual exercise in IBM Rhapsody.

You can easily locate applied stereotypes with the SodiusWillert Power Pack.

 

 

Navigating Generalization

Locating the 'other end' of a generalization relationship in IBM Rhapsody requires multiple steps and clicking through a number of windows.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody greatly simplifies navigating generalization relationships and visualizes multiple generalizations with one click.

 

Insert State

Inserting a new state in the middle of an existing transition on a state diagram in IBM Rhapsody requires manual redrawing of the transition and the addition of a new one.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody automates the process, allowing the insertion of a new state with a single click.

 

Navigate to Swimlane Represents

Navigating from a swimlane on an activity diagram to the represented model element requires a lot of clicking and multiple windows opening.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody provides instead a more effective way to locate and navigate to a represented model element. Only one click is needed.

Diagram Information Boxes

Adding information boxes to a diagram is very helpful in documenting a model.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody enables manual or automated creation and update of Diagram Information Boxes. Furthermore, you can customize the content that you would like to see in those boxes. 

 

Create Table Layout from Stereotype

Creating a table layout for a stereotype in IBM Rhapsody can be laborious, especially if the stereotype has tags you want to include in the table.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody provides a feature that automates table layout creation with a single click, even for stereotypes applicable to multiple metaclasses.

Create Tables

Creating a table in IBM Rhapsody based on a layout you don't own can be laborious.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody offers an alternative, more flexible way to add tables to your model.

 

 

Open Web Page

Opening web pages inside IBM Rhapsody requires writing Java plugins.

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody provides a helper making integration of web pages easier and more flexible without the need to write a Java plugin.


Unit Editor

IBM Rhapsody allows the edition of unit details, but only for one unit at a time. 

The SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody offers a more convenient alternative by supporting multiple select or processing recursively.


Model Element Editor

Creating and editing complex model elements with IBM Rhapsody can be a lengthy process. 

The Model Element Editor included in SodiusWillert Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody introduces a feature that simplifies complex tasks and offers a customized editing experience.

FAQs

What are the prerequisites to run Power Pack for IBM Rhapsody?

You need either IBM Rhapsody Developer or Embedded UML Studio (SodiusWillert's own UML modeling product for embedded software development). A compiler is also required; SodiusWillert maintains a list of supported compilers and can accommodate additional compiler adaptions on request. Contact SodiusWillert directly for a full compatibility matrix and to confirm your specific environment is supported.

I already use IBM Rhapsody. Why do I need Power Pack on top of it?

IBM Rhapsody is a powerful modeling environment, but some workflows such as deleting events that have references, writing context patterns for table layouts, or navigating complex generalization hierarchies  are cumbersome and time-consuming by default. Power Pack addresses exactly these pain points. Previously multi-step, error-prone tasks (finding and deleting all references to an event, for instance) are reduced to a single right-click. The result is less repetitive manual work, fewer consistency errors, and more time for the creative engineering tasks that matter.

Who is Power Pack designed for?

Power Pack is built for systems and software engineers working daily in IBM Rhapsody on complex, model-based projects, particularly in regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, and automotive.

It is valuable whether you are an individual modeler who wants to move faster, or a team lead who needs to enforce model consistency across a project. Both new users who want guardrails and experienced modelers who want to accelerate will benefit.

How does Power Pack integrate with IBM Rhapsody? Does it change my existing models or workflow?

Power Pack integrates seamlessly as a plug-in within IBM Rhapsody. Its helpers are accessible from the standard right-click context menu, the toolbar (in Rhapsody 10.0+), and keyboard shortcuts where applicable. It adds capabilities on top of Rhapsody. It does not alter your existing models or replace any built-in features. You continue working in the same environment you know. Power Pack simply gives you faster, more consistent ways to perform common tasks.

Is there a trial available so I can evaluate Power Pack before purchasing?

Contact the our sales team via the Contact page to discuss trial options and find the right starting point for your team.

You can also explore the full video demo series on the SodiusWillert YouTube channel to see every helper in action before committing.

Which versions of IBM Rhapsody are supported?

Power Pack supports IBM Rhapsody 9 and IBM Rhapsody 10. Some helpers offer enhanced access methods in Rhapsody 10.0. Contact support@sodiuswillert.com or the sales team to confirm compatibility with your specific Rhapsody version.

Will Power Pack slow down IBM Rhapsody or impact my existing project files?

Power Pack is designed as a lightweight plug-in. The helpers are invoked on demand (via right-click, toolbar, or shortcut) rather than running continuously in the background, which keeps any performance impact minimal. It does not modify existing model files at rest. Changes only happen when you explicitly invoke a helper. As with any tool change in a regulated environment, SodiusWillert recommends validating the integration in a test environment before deploying to production projects.
