One of the ways Webel IT Australia helps promote tools, technologies, and languages is by donating a lot of time identifying, tracking, and reporting potential issues, in order to help vendors and developers improve the tools and technologies. In some cases, we also offer workarounds and advice for users. All issues tracked on our public site are offered most constructively and with sincerest gratitude to the tool vendors and technology developers.

SysML-1.6 supports Interfaces provided/required (InterfaceRealization and Usage) by a Block, including an InterfaceBlock.
Given that UML-style Port conjugation is not supported in SysML-1.6, a mechanism for inversion of provided/required Interfaces is needed.
While sample Figure D.19 does not show the Port types, it does show provided/required Interfaces on Ports, and it is implied by other diagrams in the sample problem that those Ports that have inverted provided/required Interfaces are typed by ~InterfaceBlocks.
A constraint should be added to 9.3.2.15 ~InterfaceBlock corresponding to the inversion of any required/provided Interfaces on the original InterfaceBlock.
