IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Design Manager integrates
with MathWorks Simulink so that designers and project stakeholders
can publish and collaborate on Simulink models.
Your team
can search, view, review, mark up, and analyze Simulink models and Rational Rhapsody designs
in a central location that can be accessed easily through a web client.
Links can be created with Simulink elements that can provide traceability
into the overall product life cycle to help manage and understand
the impact of design changes.
This topic refers to the method to use the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine to
import MathWorks Simulink models, which includes the ability to schedule
importing. To use the Simulink Manual Importer to manually import
MathWorks Simulink models to the Rational Rhapsody Design Management Server,
see the related topic on manually importing MathWorks Simulink models.
With this integration, you can publish Simulink models to a Jazz-based
repository with access using Rational Rhapsody Design Manager.
For the latest installation and configuration information on importing
Math Works Simulink models, see the Design
Management Documentation
wiki.
Prerequisites
The following products must
be installed for the integration:
- Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Server Extension with
the selection to integrate with MathWorks Simulink so that the Simulink
plug-in that is provided as part of the server installation is also
installed. This server might be installed on a computer other than
where you might be located.
- Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine on
the same computer where you have Simulink installed.
- Simulink on the same computer where you have Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine installed.
Procedure
After the products are installed,
on the computer where you have Simulink and
Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine installed,
do the following set-up tasks:
- Create an import definition and use the Simulink domain
for that definition. You can schedule how often the import engine
checks for model updates. See the related topic on creating an import
definition.
- Complete a one-time connection between Simulink and Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine through
the Rational Rhapsody Import Engine window. See
the related topic on configuring the import engine.
