Welcome to the 3SL Cradle-5.7
Evaluation Start-Up

The evaluation project demonstrates how Cradle can manage requirements and models. By linking requirements through analysis and design provides a solution for tracability through the system lifecycle. This tracebility can be demonstrated through the Cradle interfaces or published in document form.

The scope of this project is rather small and just scratches the surface of what Cradle can accomplish and has been deliberately designed so that it can be completed in a short amount of time enabling you to get a feel for Cradle and then move on to your more important tasks. If you require any extra help, contact 3SL support.

Although small and overly simple, this project demonstrates some of the initial tasks that an engineer may wish to perform with Cradle.

Welcome to the Simple Evaluation Project.

You are Mr N Jineer, the Project Manager at The Car Park Building Co. You have been tasked with heading up a new project to build and deliver a state of the art secure, multistory car park to British Car Parks.

You are provided with all the source data you require to complete this project and will be guided through every step of the way by this project walk through.

Before you start, here is a list of the steps involved and the source documentation/data.

Steps:

1. Create a project using the Cradle Menu
2. Capture data into cradle with Document Loader
3. Import Diagrams in Toolset or WorkBench
4. Manually link Requirements to Functions
5. Produce matrix from requirements to functions
6. Produce matrix from functions to architecture
7. Create User Requirement Document in DOC.
8. Produce a final document showing links from reqs to functions, links from functions to architecture and transient links from reqs to architecture and the final specifications.

Source Documentation / Data

Use the below files when instructed to do so during the relevent step in this guide.

• Draft requirements document.
• Cradle export file is located in the docs folder and is called CarParkRequirements.exp Or right click and select save link as ... to download this file to your local machine and import it into Cradle from where you save it. (in Step 3)
