Creating a block property (SysML)
1. In an appropriate pane, locate the Block for which you want to create a Block Property.
On the Blocks pane, all Blocks are listed in the Block folder.
2. Right click the Block, point to New, point to SysML, and then click Block Property.
3. To use an existing item as a type:
a. In the Options group, click the Existing Type option.
b. Select the item that you want to use as a type, and then click OK.
Note that, in the Existing Type: pane, you can click the Find Items button to open the Add New Search Folder dialog where you can specify the Type and a subset or the full Name of the items that you want to find.
To create a new item to use as a type:
a. In the Options group, click the New Type option.
b. From the Type list, select the type of the item you want to create and use as a type.
c. In the Name box, type the name of the item that will be used as a type, and then click OK.
To create an untyped Block Property:
In the Options group, click the Untyped option, and then click OK.
4. Type the name of the Block Property, and then press the Enter key.
Alternatively:
On a Block Definition Diagram, you can create a Block Property of type Part by creating an Aggregation or Composition from a Block to the referenced Block. Create a Block Property of type Reference by creating an Association from a Block to the referenced Block.
On an Internal Block Diagram, you can create a Block Property through the Block Property button. How?
After creating a Block Property, you can specify its multiplicity and set it up as shared, read only and as a measure of effectiveness. For more information, see the Related Topics.
