Unlocking the Value of IBM’s Rhapsody AUTOSAR Extension
Empowering Automotive Innovation in the Age of Electric Mobility and Autonomous Vehicles
The landscape is undergoing a profound transformation in the ever-evolving realm of automotive engineering. The advent of electric vehicles, advanced sensors, and the pursuit of autonomous capabilities is steering the industry towards a software-centric approach. This transition is not just challenging; it’s a fundamental shift that necessitates the adoption of robust standards to guide the way. Enter Automotive Open System Architecture, better known as AUTOSAR.
AUTOSAR: A Foundation for Collaboration and Innovation
AUTOSAR isn’t just an acronym; it represents a critical framework that underpins the future of automotive development. It serves as a common platform, fostering collaboration between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. This shared platform ensures scalability, transferability, collaboration, sustainability, and maintainability throughout the automotive engineering lifecycle.
IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody® — AUTOSAR Extension: Unlocking the Power of AUTOSAR
Imagine a solution that empowers your engineering teams to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced automotive features across Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR platforms. Now, here’s the remarkable part: you don’t need to be an AUTOSAR expert to unlock this potential. That’s precisely what IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody® with its AUTOSAR Extension offers.
How it Works: A Seamless Integration of Expertise and Automation
At the heart of this solution lies Model-Based Software Engineering (MBSE)and AUTOSAR. Together, they create a graphical and formal design environment that transforms how automotive development occurs.
- Production Code Generation: This capability is the backbone of your journey. It generates production code and AUTOSAR XML (ARXML) files that strictly adhere to the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) standards. AUTOSAR compliance and its associated toolchains are no longer an uphill battle; they become second nature.
- Automated Tasks: Your automotive engineers now have the luxury of focusing on what truly matters: the application domain. Whether it’s early analysis, design, development, simulation, or testing, mundane aspects of AUTOSAR are automated, freeing up valuable time and effort.
Proven Solution for Unprecedented Quality: Elevate Your Automotive Systems and Software
IBM’s AUTOSAR Extension for both the Designer and Developer editions of IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody brings forth a plethora of benefits:
- Full Automation: Bid farewell to the intricate processes. Seamlessly transform SysML and UML models into deployable AUTOSAR code.
- Part of a Bigger Picture: Rhapsody doesn’t stand alone; it’s an integral component of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management solution. It supercharges modeling and design activities, ensuring the delivery of higher-quality systems and software at an unprecedented pace.
Key Capabilities of IBM Rhapsody AUTOSAR Extension: Customized for Success
This extension is engineered to align with your needs:
- OEM Workflow Support: Achieve full customization with a rules-based extraction of the architecture, effortlessly converting SysML and UML models into AUTOSAR components.
- Supplier Workflow Support: For every facet of the Classic platform and applications for the Adaptive platform, this extension generates software components via UML diagrams.
- Flexibility: As the automotive industry evolves, flexibility is key. This extension empowers you to make implementation decisions at your own pace, whether on the Classic or Adaptive platform.
- Multi-ECU Design: In a world where single design mapping into multiple Electronic Control Units (ECUs) is the new norm, this solution offers unwavering support. Some ECUs may align with the Classic platform, while others with the Adaptive platform.
In an industry where software is taking center stage, IBM’s Rhapsody AUTOSAR Extension stands as a trusted companion. It offers advanced features and capabilities without the need for AUTOSAR expertise. It’s your passport to embrace the future of automotive development with confidence and efficiency.
