[DISPLAY, STYLE] SysML directed features displayed on Port symbols are often far clearer than UML-style provided/required Interface "ball (lollipop) and socket" notation Related notes (backlinks) [CONVENTION, MODELLING, TIP]{RECOMMENDED} Webel: MBSE: SysMLv1: Prefer a custom «actor» extension of a Block (such as the non-normative External) over UML-style Actor for use as parts in IBDs and on allocation swimlanes. You can also have a Trace from a block-based «actor» to a UML-style Actor. [CAVEAT, DISPLAY, TOOL, WARNING] MagicDraw/Cameo: Using the display option to show labels inside Port rectangle symbols or to use SysML compartments on Port symbols hides any flow direction indicators. [DEPRECATION, TOOL, WARNING]{STRONG} SysML: MagicDraw/Cameo: DO NOT use the FlowPort or FlowSpecification menu items or smart manipulator items they are completely OBSOLETE (they create fully DEPRECATED SysML model element types)! Use FlowProperty on Block features instead. Related snippets (extracts) Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
