From concept to creation
We are pleased to release a new presentation that discusses the need and role for requirements management (RM) and systems engineering (SE) tools and the need for a change in paradigm from document-based processes to data-based processes.
It is available here:

We hope that this presentation is helpful to those considering RM and SE tools!
We are pleased to announce the second in our a new series of white papers that will discuss the role of different types of information in systems engineering processes, and how to deploy each of them in Cradle.
The second white paper in this series discusses user requirements. It is available here:

3SL attended the SEC 2016 conference in Washington at the end of last month. We presented a tutorial on how SysML can be used in a MBSE process that is integrated into the rest of the systems lifecycle, including initial needs and requirements capture and following with links to test and delivery.
That presentation can be downloaded from our website here:

We hope that you find this presentation helpful!
3SL attended the SEDC 2016 conference and presented a view of SysML and MBSE in the systems context, for executives. The essence of this presentation is that MBSE is good, SysML is one form of model and associated notations for MBSE, but these cannot be useful unless they are part of an overall process for the complete lifecycle.

We are pleased to announce that our April newsletter 2016 is available here:
https://www.threesl.com/pages/news/webletter-April16/index.php
which announces the release of Cradle-7.1 that integrates SysML into the systems lifecycle!
If you have an active maintenance agreement with 3SL, you are welcome to upgrade to Cradle-7.1 at any time, but please remember that you will need a new Security Code from 3SL to use Cradle-7.1!
If you frequently run the same item commands, or you want to guide users to use a particular subset of commands, add them to the Cradle ‘View’. These are termed “View commands”.
When defining a Cradle Views, you can add commands to appear at the ‘Item icon’. When the view is run this enables different users to be guided to commands for their role in the project. Combined with a phase and they can, run the appropriate query and they can get straight into creating children, linked items, updating link details, or whatever is appropriate for their role. Spending a little while now, arranging the process steps for your users can give a significant gain in productivity.
For more information on creating views and view commands you may find this Cradle help article useful.
A set of updated white papers are now available from our website. These cover topics such as document management, regulation compliance, information assurance and links to programme management.
You can access the white papers here:

We hope that you find them useful!
Want to ship a read-only copy of your project to a Customer or Supplier?
Use Web Publisher to create a hyper-linked output of your project. This can be copied onto a pen-drive, CD, Intranet and sent to your customer. They don’t have to have Cradle to see your work on the project, just an html browser. Of course we would suggest that they get a copy of Cradle for themselves and then they load the project items and query, publish, alter and necessary, but we know that’s not always practicable.
You can limit what an end user will see by selecting various options. This could be either one item type or All the items types within the project. You can then give the hyper-linked project an owner and select a location of where the files are to be sent.
If you require any more information on Web Publisher then you can find this within our Cradle help. Please click the link.
Having developed a schema, added item types, defined workflows, tailored categories to your process, a new project starts. The last thing you want to do is start from scratch defining the it all over again.
If you have a really useful setup that you want to reuse in a new project then simply “drag’n’drop” it in Project Manager. Log into the projects with a user with privilege to import project settings and then drag the schema from the developed project to your new project. The alternative would be to export just the project schema from your original project and then import it into the new project. Whatever you do, you don’t need to start typing and clicking to create a new project setup.
In order to see the Project Schema in a tabular form, log into the project from Project Manager and simply select the Schema in the tree. Pressing the Publish button will output this as a report. If you want finder granularity of what shows in the report open WorkBench and run the Standard Report “Project Schema” from the Publish->Reports tab.
