Tutorials - Syndeia for Rhapsody

Syndeia comes with tutorials with step-by-step instructions and working models. The first tutorials are structured so that the reader starts with a simple model in the SysML tool, then generates its equivalent in the repository. Using the repository-based model, the next section reverses the process to re-generate the model in SysML. This approach eliminates the need for the reader to create tables, bills-of-materials (PLM), or requirement structures  etc. in the repository tool. It does, however, require the reader to have read and write access privileges to an empty folder or package in the repository.

The tutorials assume that the user is familiar with Rhapsody and has a general understanding of the structure of the other engineering tools, repositories and databases to which it will be interfaced. The appendices provide brief tutorials on using some of the repositories, such as Teamcenter, Windchill and MySQL, with an emphasis on setting up and viewing simple part structures and tables.

Syndeia 3.1 has been baselined with Rhapsody 8.1 so that it can work with later versions of Rhapsody. The tutorial models are saved in Rhapsody 8.1 / 8.1.3. The tutorial instructions are written based on Rhapsody 8.1 / 8.1.3. Although Syndeia 3.1 will work with all Rhapsody versions after 8.1, it has been rigorously tested with Rhapsody 8.1.3 and 8.2.
