Interface ValueType

All Superinterfaces:

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject, org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValueTypeImpl

public interface ValueType
extends org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject

A representation of the model object 'Value Type'. A ValueType defines types of values that may be used to express information about a system, but cannot be identified as the target of any reference. Since a value cannot be identified except by means of the value itself, each such value within a model is independent of any other, unless other forms of constraints are imposed. Value types may be used to type properties, operation parameters, or potentially other elements within SysML. SysML defines ValueType as a stereotype of UML DataType to establish a more neutral term for system values that may never be given a concrete data representation.

The following features are supported:

• Base Data Type
• Quantity Kind
• Unit

BlocksPackage.getValueType()

Method Detail

getBase_DataType

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.DataType getBase_DataType()

Returns the value of the 'Base Data Type' reference.

If the meaning of the 'Base Data Type' reference isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'Base Data Type' reference.

See Also:

setBase_DataType(DataType), BlocksPackage.getValueType_Base_DataType()

setBase_DataType

void setBase_DataType(org.eclipse.uml2.uml.DataType value)

Sets the value of the 'Base Data Type' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Base Data Type' reference.

See Also:

getBase_DataType()

getQuantityKind

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.InstanceSpecification getQuantityKind()

Returns the value of the 'Quantity Kind' reference. A kind of quantity that may be stated by means of defined units, as identified by an instance of the Dimension stereotype. A value type may optionally specify a dimension without any unit. Such a value has no concrete representation, but may be used to express a value in an abstract form independent of any specific units.

Returns:

the value of the 'Quantity Kind' reference.

See Also:

setQuantityKind(InstanceSpecification), BlocksPackage.getValueType_QuantityKind()

setQuantityKind

void setQuantityKind(org.eclipse.uml2.uml.InstanceSpecification value)

Sets the value of the 'Quantity Kind' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Quantity Kind' reference.

See Also:

getQuantityKind()

getUnit

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.InstanceSpecification getUnit()

Returns the value of the 'Unit' reference. A quantity in terms of which the magnitudes of other quantities that have the same dimension can be stated, as identified by an instance of the Unit stereotype.

Returns:

the value of the 'Unit' reference.

See Also:

setUnit(InstanceSpecification), BlocksPackage.getValueType_Unit()

setUnit

void setUnit(org.eclipse.uml2.uml.InstanceSpecification value)

Sets the value of the 'Unit' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Unit' reference.

getUnit()
