SysML Stereotypes

SysML stereotypes are labels or tags that add extra meaning or specific characteristics to model elements within a system diagram. They help clarify the role or nature of components by customizing their properties and behavior descriptions. For example, a stereotype like «sensor» indicates that a particular element functions as a sensor in the system. This extension mechanism makes models more expressive, enabling better understanding, communication, and analysis of complex systems by highlighting specialized roles or features without altering the underlying element’s core definition.
