Tools: The language of this section was suggesting SysML is a new development, but that is not the case anymore. Updated the text.
The "fourteen" types of diagrams in UML are only normative. Reference added.
Line 13:
* SysML model management constructs support models, views, and viewpoints. These constructs extend UML's capabilities and are architecturally aligned with [[IEEE-Std-1471-2000]] (IEEE Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software Intensive Systems).
 
SysML reuses seven of UML 2's fourteen "[[nominative]]" types of [[diagram]]s,<ref>{{cite book
SysML reuses seven of UML 2's fourteen diagrams, and adds two diagrams (requirement and parametric diagrams) for a total of nine diagram types. SysML also supports allocation tables, a tabular format that can be dynamically derived from SysML allocation relationships. A table which compares SysML and UML 2 diagrams is available in the SysML FAQ.

Consider modeling an automotive system: with SysML one can use Requirement diagrams to efficiently capture functional, performance, and interface requirements, whereas with UML one is subject to the limitations of [[use case diagram]]s to define high-level functional requirements. Likewise, with SysML one can use Parametric diagrams to precisely define performance and quantitative constraints like maximum [[acceleration]], minimum [[curb weight]], and total [[air conditioning]] capacity. UML provides no straightforward mechanism to capture this sort of essential performance and quantitative information.
