IBM Rational Rhapsody V7.5.2 broadens support of smart product development with new capabilities for systems engineering, multicore, Android, and C# components

IBM Rational Rhapsody 7.5.2 provides systems engineers and embedded software developers with many new capabilities to help deliver high-quality, complex systems and products by visualizing architecture and behavior, enabling early requirements validation, and automating development of embedded systems. This release provides a visual development environment for targeting multicore, C#, DDS, and Android and parametric diagram analysis. This helps systems engineers determine the optimum system architecture and specification.

Highlights of the new version :

    * Visual development environment to develop, analyze and simulate applications that target multicore processors and the Android platform
    * Support for solving of SysML parametric constraints for more informed design decisions and trade studies (parametric constraint evaluator that uses Maxima or The Mathworks Matlab Symbolic Math Toolbox for solving algebraic and time-dependent ordinary differential equations)
    * C# support for developing in a mixed language environment
    * Architect Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) applications to manage the complexity of interconnected components
    * Rational Rhapsody toolbar in Visual Studio makes it easier to work with multiple projects and components in Visual Studio and Rational Rhapsody

These new features, plus other enhancements, help systems engineers and real-time or embedded software developers increase productivity and deliver innovative products to market.
