Migrating from IBM Rhapsody to Dassault Cameo MagicDraw in record time

Their customer, the U.S. Army, required the migration of a large IBM Rational Rhapsody UML model to NoMagic’s Cameo Enterprise Architect.

Larry J., the Evaluation Engineer who was responsible for performing the model migration process, described their challenge:

"The model consisted of 37,331 files in Rhapsody UML format with 812,405 elements and 703 diagrams. Up until today, this kind of transformation, if done manually, would normally take at least one man-year to complete.” 

Sean F., the Project Manager and Lead Systems Architect on this project, needed a solution for his customer. “The customer requires a one-time migration to MagicDraw. Further development will be done in MagicDraw.”

Once the customer’s business challenges were clearly identified, Sodius Corp. provided the customer with the Publisher for Rhapsody. The Publisher has already been used by many Department of Defense programs, and has enabled them to automate the migration from Rhapsody UML models to Cameo/MagicDraw SysML models.

The solution, the Publisher for Rhapsody, generates complete MagicDraw models from Rhapsody, including all model elements, structure, and hierarchy thereby saving engineering time, retaining data integrity, and reducing costs.
