Diagrams ownership

The correct organization of your diagrams in the model ensures model consistency, reusability of required views, and quick navigation in the model.

SysML v1 diagram taxonomy

The figure below shows the SysML v1 diagram taxonomy, which reflects how SysML v1 diagrams are organized. You can use nine kinds of SysML diagrams when modeling:

•  Requirement Diagram
•  SysML Block Definition Diagram
•  SysML Internal Block Diagram
•  SysML Package Diagram
•  SysML Parametric Diagram
•  SysML Sequence Diagram
•  SysML State Machine Diagram
•  SysML Activity Diagram
•  SysML Use Case Diagram

The relationship between SysML diagrams is Generalization:

• Activity, Sequence, State Machine, and Use Case diagrams are types of behavior diagrams. 
• Block Definition, Internal Block, and Package diagrams are types of structure diagrams.
• Parametric diagrams are types of Internal Block diagrams.
• Requirement diagrams are a category by themselves.

Diagram owners

The owner that a diagram can represent depends on the diagram kind you are creating. All SysML diagrams and their available owners are listed in the following table.

A Behavior diagram must have a context which is always a behavior which owns this diagram.

Find diagrams in your project

You can find all diagrams of your model by using the Diagrams tab in the Model Browser. The Diagrams tab page describes how to open and use this tab.
