The SysML Complex "primitive" ValueType does in fact have substructure: realPart:Real and imaginaryPart:Real

Although SysML indirectly imports the UML 2 PrimitiveTypes library ... due to the transitivity of package import, SysML provides a PrimitiveValueTypes model library that systems engineers can extend via SysML’s ValueType stereotype.
