Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) structures form a foundation of engineering principles that developers have begun to apply to System of Systems (SoS) by applying Systems Modeling Language (SysML) structures [38,37,54]. Behavior models derived from Monterey Phoenix (MP) provide a logical foundation for the system behavior architectures [32] as a means to capture intrinsic nature of the system.

At present, more and more system engineering projects are handled by different design teams, and the stakeholders have their own objectives and requirements, which virtually increase the complexity of system design and management (Walden et al. 2015). In order to find an effective collaboration way between the engineers, the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach is increasingly being applied to the design of complex systems (Beery 2019; Waseem and Sadiq 2018). In the MBSE method, the traditional document-based communication method is replaced by communication through the engineering domain models. In order to support the application of MBSE, the Object Management Group has developed the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) (Hause 2006). This language is used for graphical system modeling, which usually includes various information in a system model, such as the requirements, functions, and solutions, which are represented by related engineering domain models.

Behaviour modelling defines the detailed requirements, structures, behaviour and parametric of the physical production equipment via semantic models. Systems Modelling Language (SysML) is a general-purpose graphical modelling language for specifying, analysing, designing, and verifying a complex equipment (Rahman et al. 2013). SysML provides graphical representations with a semantic foundation for modelling equipment requirements, behaviour, structure and parametrics, which could be used to integrate with other engineering analysis models, e.g. geometric models and mechanism models. Consequently, SysML could be used for behaviour modelling of a physical equipment, where elements of the physical equipment are represented by block definition diagrams (BDD) and internal block diagrams (IBD). BDD describes the hierarchy and classification relationship of the equipment. IBD describes the internal behaviour of the equipment in terms of its parts, ports, and connectors. Figure 4(b) illustrates an example of behaviour modelling of a machine tool, where the left BDD model indicates the requirements and hierarchy relationship of the machine tool and the right IBD model defines the internal behaviour of the drivetrain of the machine tool.

Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a powerful and widely used modeling language for engineering domains. While mainly used in Systems Engineering, it also has been applied in mechanical construction, particularly in the early phases of the construction process. That means that software tools and exchange formats exist, so that SysML models can be integrated into tool chains. Block Definition Diagrams, Internal Block Diagrams and Parametric Diagrams are the main diagram types that are eligible for the modeling of parametric relations with SysML. Studies, surveys and personal examinations have shown that these diagram forms, particularly Parametric Diagrams are unsuitable for this domain with regard to usability [23].
