IBM Rhapsody is a core modeling tool suite in the IBM Engineering product portfolio, focusing on model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and embedded software development.
Its main features and functions are as follows:
1. Core Functions and Technical Features
Multi-standard Modeling Support
Supports mainstream modeling language standards, including UML (Unified Modeling Language), SysML (System Modeling Language), UAF (Unified Architecture Framework), and AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture), with import/export functionality, suitable for complex system and software design.
Visual Design and Simulation
Utilizes graphical tools such as block diagrams, state diagrams, and sequence diagrams for system architecture design, behavioral modeling, and requirement analysis, and provides real-time simulation capabilities to validate system behavior and identify design defects early on.
Automated Code Generation
Directly generates high-quality production code in C, C++, Java, C#, etc., from the model, supporting MISRA-C/C++ standards to ensure consistency between the model and code, thereby accelerating embedded system development.
Requirement Traceability and Verification
Establish a complete traceability chain between requirements, design elements, and test cases, support change impact analysis, and comply with safety-critical standards such as DO-178C (aviation) and ISO 26262 (automotive).
