[ASSERTION] SysML: Typing a Port by an InterfaceBlock or ~InterfaceBlock does NOT imply that the Port is a ProxyPort (but ProxyPort must be typed by an InterfaceBlock or ~InterfaceBlock) [TIP, WORKAROUND]{INFORMATIVE} [HISTORICAL] HOWTO easily "hack" the SysML-1.6 ~InterfaceBlock conjugation and «~interfaceBlock» keywords in MagicDraw/Cameo. [NOW SUPPORTED 2024x Golden] Related notes (backlinks) [ISSUE, MODELLING]{STRONG} SysPhS-1.1: Annex A.5: Humidifier: Use of UML-style direct Port conjugation not permitted since SysML-1.6, prefer ~InterfaceBlock type-based conjugation (example requires migration) [WARNING] Until tool support for ~InterfaceBlock comes you have to make a decision: (1) Bake your own «~InterfaceBlock» then deal with clashes when tool support comes; (2) stick with the DEPRECATED UML conjugation (not nested-port friendly) and await migration. Related snippets (extracts) [SysML-1.6] Conjugation is specified by a constraint giving the features of ~InterfaceBlocks according to those of their original InterfaceBlocks ... It is expected that tools conforming to this specification automatically create features of ~InterfaceBlocks. [SysML-1.6] InterfaceBlock ... for example, in flow properties are conjugated as out flow properties and provided features are conjugated as required features. [SysML-1.6] The ~InterfaceBlock stereotype (shall be pronounced: "conjugated interface block") is a specialization of InterfaceBlock that has the same features as its original InterfaceBlock except that its DirectedFeatures and FlowProperties are reversed (conjugated Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
