SysML

Systems Modeling Language

What it actually means

The graphical modeling language for systems engineering — a UML profile adding requirements, parametric, and allocation constructs to structure and behavior diagrams. It's the lingua franca of MBSE tooling; SysML v2, with a proper textual notation and API, is a ground-up redesign addressing v1's tooling pain.

Where you'll meet it

MBSE environments and model exchange between SE tools.
