I understand that arc42 is a standard used worldwide for describing architecture. I’m interested when including diagrams using Rhapsody, and adding the corresponding description, that a report using the arc42 template would be outputted. Would that be possible?

 this question is already a little bit older but maybe the answer is  still of interest...:

yes, arc42 is a process and template to describe a software architecture. More details can be found at http://www.arc42.org and https://arc42.github.io 

The template is available in several formats (see https://arc42.github.io for a list). As I do understand, Rhapsody is an UML tool. If so, you can easily chose a template format for arc42 and include your diagrams created with Rhapsody.

With user UML tools, we already used scripts to export diagrams and even descriptions which where added to elements of the diagrams and include them in (for instance) the asciidoc arc42 template. This results in great documentation. AsciiDoc can be rendered for instance as HTML or MS Word.

Hope that helps. If you have further questions regarding arc42, you could post them to stackoverflow (there is an arc42 tag) or use one of the email addresses you find on the pages above.

Pleas ask Rhapsody related questions in the forum https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=11111111-0000-0000-0000-000000001501 or a forum for the product. This is basically the wrong forum.
