Webel: SysMLv1.x: AVOID (where possible) ValueType names that are the same as the name of units or unit symbols

If the unit is 'metre', the name of your ValueType should not be 'm', it might however be named or contain the word 'Length', 'Height', Radius, or 'Diameter'.

Note however:

SysMLv1.x: ValueType naming: The Webel convention is 'UpperCamelCase' (a.k.a. PascalCase).

If the unit is 'kilogram', the name of your ValueType should not be 'kg', it might however be named or contain the word 'Length', 'Height', Radius, or 'Diameter'.

And don't forget, you can strengthen the engineering context of your value properties by using more specific ValueType names:

Webel: SysMLv1.x: TIP: The name and documentation of a ValueType can indicate and specify more than just the unit and quantity kind. Example: A ClockFrequency may document how the frequency is measured. Example: WeightOnEarth.
