"Systems Engineering with SysML/UML: Modeling, Analysis, Design"

Over
and above, SysML removes the software aspect from the UML class model, so that
objects can be used in any discipline to describe system structures.

Defi nition
A class describes structure and behavior of objects that have the same characteristics
and semantics. The structure is described by attributes, while behavior
is described by operations.
150 CHAPTER 3 UML??”Unifi ed Modeling Language
A class is the building plan for similar objects. For example, the class customer
in Figure 3.6 describes objects that each have a name, an ID, blocking information,
a PIN check code, and personalized routes for the navigation system. Moreover,
they are capable of verifying whether or not a PIN is correct. All customer objects
meet this building plan. Other examples for classes are car , braking system , current
, or energy .
Each object has a unique identity, regardless of its attribute values.
