Constraint blocks define generic forms of constraints that can be used in multiple contexts. For example, a definition for Newton’s Laws may be used to specify these constraints in many different contexts.

Previous snippet
A constraint block includes the constraint, such as {F=m*a}, and the parameters of the constraint such as F, m, and a.
Full quote
Constraint blocks define generic forms of constraints that can be used in multiple contexts. For example, a definition for Newton’s Laws may be used to specify these constraints in many different contexts.
Next snippet
Reusable constraint definitions may be specified on block definition diagrams and packaged into general-purpose or domain-specific model libraries. Such constraints can be arbitrarily complex mathematical or logical expressions.

Constraint blocks provide a mechanism for integrating engineering analysis such as performance and reliability models with other SysML models.

A constraint block is defined by a keyword of «constraint» applied to a block definition. Properties of this block define parameters of the constraint, with the exception of properties that hold internally nested usages of constraint blocks.
The usage of a constraint block is distinguished from other parts by a box having rounded corners rather than the square corners of an ordinary part.
A parametric diagram is a restricted form of internal block diagram that shows only the use of constraint blocks along with the properties they constrain within a context.
Figure D.26 defines the various model elements that will be used to conduct analysis in this example. It depicts each of the constraint blocks/equations that will be used for the analysis, and key relationships between them.
