Next snippet A DerivedQuantityKind may also be used to define a synonym kind of quantity for another kind of quantity. Related snippets SysML ValueType adds an ability to carry a unit of measure and quantity kind associated with the value. quantityKind : InstanceSpecification [0..1] A kind of quantity, represented by an InstanceSpecification classified by a kind of SysML QuantityKind, that may be stated by means of units. A value type may optionally specify a quantity kind without any unit.

A unit is a particular value in terms of which a quantity of the same quantity kind may be expressed.

A DerivedUnit is a Unit that represents a measurement unit that is defined as a product of powers of one or more other measurement units. The only valid use of a QuantityKind instance is to be referenced by the quantityKind property of a ValueType or Unit.
