OCL stands for Object Constraint Language, which is a standard language for expressing constraints on UML and SysML models. Constraints are used to specify additional rules or conditions that are not directly captured by the modeling elements or their relationships. OCL can be used to define constraints on stereotypes, their properties, or their relationships in a profile.

The element that would be used to depict a model library on a diagram is a package with the stereotype <> applied to it. This stereotype indicates that the package contains reusable model elements that can be imported into other models. Option C shows a package with this stereotype.

The frame of the diagram that corresponds to a model library is the one that has the label “modelLibrary” in its upper left corner. This label indicates that the diagram is contained within a package with the stereotype <> applied to it. Option D shows a diagram with this label.

Views and viewpoints are used to show the aspects of a model that relate to different stakeholders. A view is a representation of a subset of a model that addresses a set of stakeholder concerns. A viewpoint is a specification of a perspective on a model that defines how a view should be constructed and used. By using views and viewpoints, different aspects of a model can be presented in a way that is relevant and understandable for different stakeholders.

This recommendation would be most effective from a MBSE perspective because it allows the system engineer and the analysts to leverage the SysML model as a source of design information and analysis input. A SysML model is a graphical and textual representation of a system and its structure, behavior, requirements, etc. By creating a SysML model for capturing the design of different types of smart-home systems, the system engineer can specify the relevant design details necessary for evaluation, such as parameters, constraints, properties, etc. The analysts can then set up executable templates/scripts to generate analysis models from the SysML model using various methods and tools. This way, the analysts can ensure that their analysis models incorporate the latest design information and are easily adaptable for different types of smart-home systems. The system engineer and the analysts can also use allocation or synchronization mechanisms to link the SysML model and the analysis models and propagate changes between them.

This is the most important consideration for selecting a tool to support the project because it gives the project the most flexibility. A built-in support for the method means that the tool has features and functions that are aligned with the SysML-based development method chosen by the project. This can include documentation, context-specific help, templates, wizards, etc. A built-in support for the method can help the project to follow the method more easily and consistently. A mechanism for user-defined extensions to the tool means that the tool allows users to customize or modify the tool according to their needs and preferences. This can include adding new features, changing existing features, creating new views or reports, etc. A mechanism for user-defined extensions to the tool can help the project to tailor the method over the life of the project and adapt to changing requirements or situations.

The best practice to model a software application in a SysML model for a system is to use a block stereotyped with «software» to represent the software application and its interfaces. A block is a modular unit that encapsulates its structure and behavior and can be connected to other blocks via ports and connectors. A stereotype is an extension of an existing metaclass that adds additional information or semantics to a model element. By using a block stereotypedwith «software», the software application can be modeled as a system component with its own properties, operations, ports, flows, etc., and can be allocated to hardware blocks or other software blocks.
