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

linked-data-solutions-sodiuswillert

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.

Model Pruning

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

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about Publisher for IBM Rhapsody

Everything you need to know before evaluating or purchasing Publisher for IBM Rhapsody.

What exactly does Publisher for IBM Rhapsody convert?

Publisher converts complete SysML, UML, and UPDM models from IBM Rhapsody into a fully compatible Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) file format.

This includes all structural model elements (blocks, packages, relationships, tagged values), all diagram types (activity, state, sequence, use case, block definition, internal block, parametric, and more), model hierarchy, and for UPDM models, Architecture Descriptions, Packages, and Viewpoints.

An optional add-on also preserves OSLC traceability links to IBM DOORS Next requirements.

Does Publisher support roundtrip (bidirectional) model exchange?
Yes. Publisher for IBM Rhapsody supports roundtrip model exchange between Rhapsody and Cameo Systems Modeler using unique identifiers (UIDs). This means you can run iterative conversions such as Rhapsody → Cameo → Rhapsody → Cameo throughout a program's lifecycle, making it suitable not only for one-time migrations but also for ongoing multi-tool collaborative workflows. The companion product, Publisher for IBM Rhapsody - Cameo Importer, handles the reverse direction (Cameo → Rhapsody).
What are the licensing options for Publisher for IBM Rhapsody?

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody is available as a named-user or floating license. License options are tailored to your use case whether you need a short-term license for a single migration project or a longer-term subscription for ongoing, iterative workflows. Contact the SodiusWillert team for a pricing quote based on your specific program requirements and number of users.

Can I evaluate Publisher before purchasing?

Yes. SodiusWillert offers a free 14-day trial license for Publisher for IBM Rhapsody. The trial gives you full access to all product capabilities so you can validate the tool against your own models before committing to a purchase. Contact our team at sodiuswillert.com/en/contact to request your trial license or discuss an assisted proof-of-concept evaluation for large or complex migration projects.

What system requirements are needed to run Publisher?

Publisher for IBM Rhapsody runs as a plugin within IBM Rhapsody (IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody). It requires a compatible version of Rhapsody and a licensed installation of Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) as the target environment. For full details on supported versions and installation prerequisites, visit the Publisher for Rhapsody documentation on the SodiusWillert Help Center.
