Webel: SysML: SE: A functional analysis «whitebox» Activity may have swimlanes that Allocate to logical subsystems (logical handlers) within the 'problem' zone or to design/implementation level blocks.

Webel: SysML: SE: The custom Stereotype keyword «whitebox» applied to an Activity indicates that it is part of the functional analysis breakdown serving a «whitebox» «scenario» Activity (directly or indirectly) for a UseCase.

Webel: SysML: SE: «blackbox»: The custom Stereotype keyword «scenario» indicates a Behavior (Interaction as Sequence Diagram or Activity) that Refines a top-level UseCase within the 'problem' zone.

The Webel recipe for pragramatic SE with SysML omits many of the concerns addressed by fully-fledged systems engineering frameworks. Many of these can be partially addressed by using custom Stereotypes for extraction using query view tables.

Webel: SysML: SE: The custom stereotype keyword «design» covers elements involved with BOTH design and/or implementation aspects in the 'solution' zone. (In more comprehensive SE methodologies design and implementation are often treated separately.)

Webel: SysML: SE: Stereotype keyword convention: BY DEFINITION HERE «blackbox» and «whitebox» refer specifically to the 'problem' zone and NEVER the 'solution' zone (as opposed to more general uses of the terms 'black-box' and 'white-box').

Webel SE: pragmatic tool-friendly functional analysis: 2-level drill-down from a single Use Case via a «scenario» Activity with allocation to «logical» subsystems first then crossing to the «design» Blocks zone.

Sections

Webel: SysML: SE: Terminology: '«logical» handler' is used for a specific kind of «logical» subsystem (aka 'conceptual subsystem') that is a SPECIFIC collaboration of parts that handle one Activity usage in a higher level «whitebox» Activity.

HOWTO "cheat" with two-level white-boxing and tracking stereotypes because you just don't want that darn "extra" logical subsystem (conceptual subsystem) Block the systems engineers reckon you are supposed to use (and why it's easier to actually use one)

Webel: SysMLv1: Functional analysis (isolation of white-box Activities identified via «blackbox» scenario Activities of UseCases). Recommend custom stereotype them. Candidate: «whitebox» (or a recommended SE methodology stereotype).
