Several Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies already exist. Particularly for SysML, e.g., IBM Harmony, INCOSE OOSEM, SYSMOD and other industrial specific.
Do you know any techniques/standards/approaches that support in defining other modeling methods, i.e., define its building blocks, scope and purpose, guidelines, modeling rules, etc...?
Thanks Yousef for your answer. You are right, you master it with experience, however I didn't find any foundation which you can base your work on for defining new methods (defining the "how") for new applications. For sure we use also SysML to define our methods, but it is again just a "modeling language" and not a method.
It gets particularly complicated if you have variants of methods within one application (e.g., functional analysis) or across different applications and you need still to trace their content and merge their deliverable together for a particular project.
Tool vendors have been heading towards method support but I think it is increasing the gap. They promise the support with model transformation however it remains very challenging.
Look at the Software & Systems Process Engineering Metamodel™ Specification from Object Management Group.
"The Software and Systems Process Engineering Meta-model (SPEM) is a process engineering meta-model as well as conceptual framework, which can provide the necessary concepts for modeling, documenting, presenting, managing, interchanging, and enacting development methods and processes. An implementation of this meta-model would be targeted at process engineers, project leads, project and program managers who are responsible for maintaining and implementing processes for their development organizations or individual projects."

Dear Mohammad, you can review the OO-Method approach and the MERODE approach, which are modeling methods for management information systems. These methods use class diagrams and state transition diagrams -among others- to specify the structure and the behavior of software systems.
