IBM Rational Rhapsody Model Based Systems Engineering Workflow

Within a span of three days, you learn the Harmony workflow for model-based development and you use the Rational Rhapsody Systems Engineering toolkit to follow the workflow through the hands-on development of a model. The automation features of the Systems Engineering Toolkit drastically reduce the time it takes to build large complex models while the formal systematic approach ensures a robust design. You are guided through the Systems Engineering workflow and you follow the workflow in Rhapsody. The workflow includes best practices for building models in the Requirements Analysis, Functional Analysis, Design Synthesis and handoff phase. The workflow used to create models is explained and experienced through a hands-on exercise using the Systems Engineering toolkit.

Identify the process for doing systems engineering in the context of Model-driven development
Create a project in Rhapsody using the Systems Engineering toolkit and workflow
Import requirements into Rational Rhapsody and link Use Cases to System Requirements
Capture the Use Case functional flow in an activity diagram
Derive Use Case scenarios from the functional flow
Define interfaces using Blocks and Ports
Describe the system behavior using state machines
Define an architecture using Internal Block Diagrams and Block Definition Diagrams
Allocate system functionality to architecture by decomposing the black box activity views
Verify and validate the model through model execution
Define a model-based hand-off
