SysML offers a conjugated fl ow port that is denoted inversely to the normal fl ow
port ( Figure 4.39 ).
Another variant is the atomic fl ow port. It allows only one data type to pass it
in one direction. In this case, no fl ow specifi cation is required. The data type that
can be transported is directly the type of the port. The direction is denoted by an
arrow in the port rectangle ( Figure 4.40 ).
