Value Types, sometimes referred to as Data Types comes in three different flavors:

1. Primitive (e.g. Real, String, Boolean)
2. Enumeration (e.g. days of week)
3. Structured (e.g. vectors)

We will first address Primitive types

There already exist Primitive Types (e.g. Real, Number, String).

To create a custom Value Type typing a property of a block do the following:

Insert Quantity. In Element Properties → Run States enter relevant information

Insert Unit. In Element Properties → Run States enter relevant information. In quantityKind field enter the name of the created Quantity Kind.

Insert Value Type. In Element Properties → SysML 1.5 reference the created Quantity Kind and Unit.

Insert Block. Drag Property to under the created Block. Select Property and then Element Properties → Property → Type. Select the Value Type you just created.

Insert Enumeration to bdd canvas. Right Click → Features → Attributes. Add new attributes until list is complete.

Insert Block. Drag Property to under the created Block. Select Property and then Element Properties → Property → Type. Select the Enumeration you just created.

Structured Value Types are a composite of simple Value Types and therefore you need to have tha simple types already defined. Add a new Value Type and add two Property under the Value Type. In each Property go Element Properties → Property → Type. Select the simple Value Type that you created earlier.

Insert Block. Drag Property to under the created Block. Select Property and then Element Properties → Property → Type. Select the structured Value Type you just created.
