A new software development requires a new
project to be created
Project can be started in two ways
empty project
New project that has been initialized according to a
specific approach
New Project
Select the [File] -> [New Project] menu.
New Project according to a specific inbuilt
approaches:
Select the [File] -> [Select New Project] menu.
In the dialog box, you can set the default approach.
Approach is applied in the beginning of the project to
determine the initial model structure.
Opening Project
Select the [File] -> [Open] menu.
Saving Project
Select the [File] -> [Save] menu. <[Link]>
Closing Project
Select the [File] -> [Close] menu
Importing a Framework
In order to use a framework in a project, the framework must be
loaded. Once a framework is loaded, all the elements contained in
the framework can be used.
Procedure for Importing Framework:
1. Select the [File] -> [Import] -> [Framework] menu.
2. At the Import Framework dialog box, select a framework to import
and click the [OK] button.
3. The Select Element dialog box appears, to determine which element
will contain the framework to import. Select an element (package,
model, subsystem, or project) to contain the framework and click the
[OK] button.
4. The framework is added to the selected element.
Rational Software is organized around the following
views of a software project:
Use Case
Logical
Component
Deployment
Helps us to understand and use the system
This view looks at how actors and use cases
interact
The diagrams in this view are:
Use-case diagrams
Sequence diagrams
Collaboration diagrams
Activity diagrams
This view contains a Main diagram by default.
Additional diagrams can be added throughout the
analysis and design process.
The logical view looks at classes and their
relationships.
The diagrams in this view are:
Class diagrams
Statechart diagrams.
The component view addresses the software
organization of the system.
This view contains only component diagrams.
The deployment view shows the mapping of
processes to hardware.
most useful in a distributed architecture
environment where you might have
applications and servers at different locations
create a new element in the diagram from the pallet.
Select an element type to create from the pallet.
Click a location in the diagram area to create the element.
(Drag the mouse to select an area to specify the size of
the new element. If creating an element that connects
two elements together, ensure that the connection is
made accurately.)
Note:
1.
Click one element twice to create multiple elements.
2.
Click the the
item in the pallet when creating
elements is complete
Creating Model Element
1.
2.
3.
Select from the model explorer an element to contain the new
model element.
Right-click and select the [Add] menu and select an element type
from the menu. Or, select the [Model] -> [Add] menu from the
main menu.
The new model element will be created under the selected model.
Deleting Model Element
Moving Model Element(drag)
Modify Model Element Order
Model Alignment
Right click an element and click
[collection editor] menu
Use the Properties View to
edit the properties of an
element
Object:
If the class does not
exist until now:
Add class
If the class Exists, create
object from class:
1. Drag the class icon in the
model explorer into the
sequence diagram;
2. If you want existing class
The class will be added,
and it can be seen in the
model explorer.

The [ActionKind] property of stimulus should be
assigned to one of five sort as following. To change
[ActionKind] property, select stimulus and select
the [ActionKind] property on the properties window.
