Overview

IBM Engineering Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers is an integrated, systems engineering environment for analyzing project requirements. It uses Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and Unified Modeling Language (UML) to enable rapid requirements analysis and visual, model-based design. It helps your systems engineering teams design complex functionality in less time.

Learn how MBSE drives successful innovation
Maintain consistency

SysML and UML enable you to visualize complex requirements and maintain design consistency.

Manage change

Requirement traceability links requirements to design elements and test cases to help ensure coverage and assess impact of change.

Manage complexity

Team collaboration capabilities help manage the complexity of developing consistent designs across different environments.

Visual development

Capture designs using industry-standard SysML and UML or Domain Specific Languages (DSL).

Features Requirements analysis that uses SysML and UML

Use SysML/UML to analyze requirements, perform trade studies with a parametric constraint solver, and design structural and behavioral aspects. Visualize complex systems, ensure design consistency, and apply static model checking for accuracy.

Full requirements traceability to and from the design

You can link requirements to design elements and test cases to help ensure coverage and assess impact of change. The solution supports full requirements traceability to and from the design. When a requirement is changed, you can view how the change impacts the design.

Design management across different environments

Engineering Lifecycle Management helps teams manage complex designs across environments. With Rhapsody - Design Manager, you can share, review, browse, compare, and merge models—enabling efficient collaboration and parallel development.
