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

The concepts and artifacts described in the
UML chapter (Chapter 3) also apply to SysML.
4.3 The Requirement Diagram
SysML defines several elements to describe and model requirements, such as
response times, size or functions of a system, which means that it closes a gap in
UML. While functional requirements can be modeled with use cases, there is no
element in UML to explicitly describe non-functional requirements.

However, since such elements are needed in practice, a number of different
proposals emerged in the course of time to allow you to model requirements
using UML. Most of these proposals are based on the defi nition of special stereotypes.
One of these proposals is SysML.
