IBM is introducing IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering (Rhapsody SE), a web-based solution for systems engineering teams that empowers them to deliver smarter, more complex, and more competitive solutions to their end users.
IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering is based on several key technologies that allow customers to use the benefits of complexity while mitigating its associated risks. These technologies include the emerging SysML v2 systems engineering modeling language standard, modern web technologies, and integration with digital threads and other engineering domains.
According to the company, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering offers modern and intuitive user experiences and workflows for everyone in the systems engineering teams. This comprehensive support includes systems engineering practitioners and reviewers, domain architects, compliance and security officers, design partners and suppliers.
IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering supports the new SysML v2 standard, helping practitioners design complex systems graphically, with dedicated graphic editors, customizable browsers and a rich, configurable set of completeness and correctness checks.
To provide a consistent experience and modeling guidelines within and across projects in an organization, tools and methods experts can customize the tool to support the specific processes and workflows needed. This customization includes user-defined extensions (via JavaScript or Python, for example) that use the various APIs that are provided with IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering, extending well beyond the APIs defined by the SysML v2 standard.
IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering integrates with the open, federated and versioned digital thread of IBM ELM for engineering artifacts, which includes support for global configurations. It integrates with other downstream engineering domains, such as software design with production code generation, through Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) or other APIs.
It also connects with the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio for Electrical/Electronic (E/E), Hardware (H/W) and mechanical design. This integration allows customers to manage cross-domain digital threads, bridging the gap between systems engineering and downstream design domains.
With Rhapsody 10.0.1 and Rhapsody SE, teams can choose to use SysML v1, SysML v2, or even both, depending on their specific needs and design architecture, regardless of the supporting tool.
IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering offers modern web-based user experiences and workflows, and support for the latest model-based systems engineering languages. By integrating with other engineering domains and digital threads, it empowers systems engineering teams to improve their competitiveness while managing the risks associated with designing complex systems and systems of systems, according to IBM.
