SysML establishes four basic classifications of properties belonging to a SysML Block or ValueType. Constraint properties are further defined in Clause 10. A port is another category of property, as further defined in Section 9. SysML also supports properties with shared aggregation, as shown by a white diamond symbol on an association. Like UML, SysML defines no specific semantics or constraints for properties with shared aggregation, but particular models or tools may interpret them in specific ways. A part or shared association has a default multiplicity of [0..1] on the black or white diamond end. A unidirectional association has a default multiplicity of 1 on its target end.

A reference property is shown by a dashed-outline box, consistent with UML. Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
