Classifier Behavior

(For a Class, SysML Block or SysML Internal Block element, this field is enabled if the element has a child Interaction, StateMachine or Activity element.) Click on the icon and select the child element, to indicate that the execution of the element and its diagram define the behavior of the classifier. On the element on a diagram, note that the classifier behavior is indicated by its own compartment of the element.
