Keywords

You can display the «constraint» keyword directly on BDD or as a "secondary stereotype" on a Parametric Diagram.

Typically, a ConstraintBlock either has an equation for its constraint parameters, or it binds them to child constraint properties (that are each typed by a ConstraintBlock). It is any case clear what it is for, mathematics.

If you must use an indicator, a prefix 'Eq' is sufficient and reads well. Example: EqIdealGas.

[CAPABILITY, FEATURE, TIP, TOOL] In MagicDraw/Cameo an assigned stereotype of a Classifier that types an instance-like element (such as a part Property) "shines through" unless it has an instance-level stereotype assigned. This is sometimes called a "secondary stereotype".
