Rhapsody Training Offerings
-
IBM Rhapsody for Software Development with UML
In this 3.5-day IBM Rhapsody® training course, participants will learn the essential concepts and core capabilities of IBM Rhapsody, including UML-based software modeling.
Through hands-on exercises, participants will develop executable applications and learn how to use UML effectively for software design and implementation. This provides a solid foundation in both UML and IBM Rhapsody®.
The course also demonstrates how Rhapsody supports model-driven software development, including code generation, execution, and validation for embedded and real-time systems.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to use IBM Rhapsody® confidently to model, develop, and generate software applications in an efficient and structured way.
-
SAF with IBM Rhapsody – MBSE with ISO 15288
Experience a structured approach to Model-Based Systems Engineering with the GfSE System Architecture Framework (SAF) and IBM Rhapsody, aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
In this three-day training course, you will learn how to apply SAF viewpoints in Rhapsody to support key systems engineering activities and develop consistent system models.
Using a realistic case study, you will build a model step by step — from the operational context and stakeholder perspective, through system context, use cases and functional behavior, to the logical system architecture.
The course focuses on hands-on modeling and demonstrates how SAF structures SysML-based engineering, connects different viewpoints, and supports traceability throughout the development process.
By the end of the training, you will be able to use SAF with Rhapsody to create structured, traceable system specifications and logical architectures following a process-oriented systems engineering approach.
-
Systems Engineering Fundamentals with ISO15288 and the IBM Harmony Process
Experience Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with SysML v2 and IBM Rhapsody SE, aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
In this 3-day training, you will learn how to apply SysML v2 concepts and modeling techniques using the proven Harmony Model-Based Engineering (Harmony MBE) approach.
Working on a realistic systems engineering case study, you will develop a system model step by step — from stakeholder needs and requirements through functional analysis and logical architecture to interfaces, behavior, and system design.
The course combines systems engineering fundamentals with hands-on modeling in Rhapsody SE and shows how Harmony MBE structures the transition from the problem space to the solution space while maintaining consistency and traceability.
