Altium 365’s Requirements & System Portal (RSP), formerly Valispace, is a collaborative, AI-powered, and cloud-based requirements management and systems engineering solution for agile electronic hardware teams.
Requirements & System Portal enables engineers to manage requirements in a centralized, scalable, and flexible tool with an intuitive interface, live collaboration, and full traceability and change history capabilities.
Key benefits of Requirements & System Portal:
- Minimize rework with up-to-date specifications
- Create clearer requirements with AI-assisted automation
- Manage complex projects with full requirements traceability
Requirements & Systems Portal is organized into six modules: Project, System Design, Requirements, Analyses, Scripting, and Verification & Validations. Additionally, requirements are accessible within supported Altium 365 applications and Altium Designer.
The capabilities of Requirements & Systems Portal related to requirements management include:
Core features
- Centralized Cloud Solution: Move away from spreadsheets and organize requirements in a secure cloud solution with an intuitive interface, live commenting, and full change history.
- AI Assistant: Create clearer, smarter requirements in less time. Quickly break down incoming system requirements into clear electrical specifications with an AI assistant.
- Live Comments & Alerts: Engage your team's experts in requirement review processes to arrive at the best possible specifications.
- Link Requirements to PCB Designs & Schematics: Give engineers constant access to clear system requirements and specifications in the right context. Verify requirements directly on your designs. Changes to requirements automatically sync across your project.
- Live Dashboards & Analytics: Monitor project progress and requirement verification status on live dashboards to quickly identify and resolve non-compliant design issues.
- Templated Document Export & Shareable Reports: Automatically generate project documentation for compliance. Keep stakeholders informed with self-updating, shareable reports.
- Versioning & Change History: Automatically track requirement changes with full version history. Review past edits, keep teams aligned, and ensure traceability and compliance.
Advanced features
- Parametric Requirements & Continuous Verifications: Turn numerical requirements into parameters. Create verification rules that automatically compare system performance to functional targets.
- Complex System & Process Modeling: Model and analyze electrical, mechanical, and software systems-of-systems in a single visual environment. Iterate faster while adhering to best-practice methodologies.
- Scripting & Automations: Create smart automations or write scripts to streamline any requirements or systems design-related tasks or customize the tool to your specific needs.
- Integrations & Open API: Link systems design, requirements, and verification activities to external tools with our pre-built integrations and open API.
- Reusable Requirements & System Data: Kickstart new projects or configure modular product offerings by reusing requirements and system data from existing projects.
