SysML Block Definition Diagram (BDD)
You will work with Blocks and Associations in the Block Definition Diagram (BDD) a lot, but do keep the following advice in mind:
Webel Best Practice: SysMLv1: Associative BDDs are best used as staging diagrams for you the modeller (and SysML-fluent readers). IBDs usually make better presentations diagrams for a wider audience of general engineers and other stakeholders.

BTW: I you wondered how the Properties were shown listed in the compartments in the tool, this sneaky feature was used:
MagicDraw/Cameo: If you want to show a Property or Port listed both in its corresponding compartment on a Class or Block symbol and as the end of an Association in the same diagram, set the display option Show Association Ends As Attributes/Ports to 'all'
Up next
Useful "user-defined" stereotypes for Blocks: «system context», «system», «subsystem», «external», «domain»
Notes
[DISPLAY, FEATURE, TOOL]{INFORMATIVE} MagicDraw/Cameo: If you want to show a Property or Port listed both in its corresponding compartment on a Class or Block symbol and as the end of an Association in the same diagram, set the display option Show Association Ends As Attributes/Ports to 'all'
[MODELLING, STYLE, TIP]{RECOMMENDED} SysMLv1: Associative BDDs are best used as staging diagrams for you the modeller (and SysML-fluent readers). IBDs usually make better presentations diagrams for a wider audience of general engineers and other stakeholders.
