IBM Rhapsody for Systems Engineers

Overview of IBM Rhapsody Training:

In this training you will learn techniques required to use the Systems Modelling Language (SysML). The techniques are applied  using IBM Rational Rhapsody with the aim to solve complex system engineering problems.

Through the use of hands-on exercises creating “real world” applications, you will build a strong foundation in SysML and Rhapsody. Further, the process by which models are created is explored through the creation of a “real-world” systems engineering model. Above all, the essential SysML diagrams for Requirements Analysis, System Functional Analysis, System Design Synthesis, are explored and applied in the exercises.

You will learn hands-on how to use Rhapsody to build a model of a filling station. This includes the coverage of executable token-based activity diagrams, various metrics views, OSLC-based requirements link-ing, SysML Proxy Ports and Interface Blocks.

Objectives of this IBM Rhapsody Training

• To use Rhapsody effectively in the context of a systems engineering process flow with the aim of ensuring that you are comfortable applying Rhapsody in all phases of systems analysis and design.
• To create systems level models with full traceability to OSLC-based re-quirements, including impact and coverage analysis.
• To validate systems models through model execution.
