UML
UML 2.0 has provided some significant steps in the ability to capture large-scale architectures, and I-Logix's has more support of the UML 2.0 than any other tool you'll find in the market. In addition, we are the first Model-Driven Development (MDD) environment to bridge the gap between functional methods and UML by introducing functional block modeling within Rhapsody.

You will also find that I-Logix's UML 2.0 implementation will make you the most productive and is the simplest to use on the market. In creating the next generation of Model-Driven Development environment, we've taken great care to ensure the Rhapsody key enabling technologies of model execution, full production code, model-code associativity enhance the introduction of UML 2.0. For example, use rapid Ports to quickly define the subsystem interconnections and validate the behavior of the system, and then later on, define the contract of allowable inputs and outputs.

Systems and Software Beyond UML 2.0
Rhapsody provides key benefits to the Systems and Software designer that go beyond UML 2.0 such as:
Requirements Modeling
Natural C notations of files, functions and variables
Tight integration to Requirements Management tools
Language Independent Type Modeling
Smart Data Type Modeling
Model Hyper linking

SysML
The Object Management Group (OMG) and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) have reached early agreements to provide engineers, software designers and project managers with the next generation modeling language to describe systems, called Systems Modeling Language (SysML). I-Logix has been actively engaged in the dialog about SysML, having contributed definitions based on our over 20 years of experience in systems engineering, and has responded by providing new tools that work with the proposed modeling language. Officials note that the finalized modeling language should be available by the end of 2005.

Our solution supports the latest version .91 of the new specification including the key diagrams:
Requirements and Use Case diagrams for capturing, tracing and elaborating systems requirements. Internal and External Block diagrams for defining the context and structure of the system State charts, Activity and Sequence diagrams for describing the behavior and algorithms of the system
