        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the repository key.
        mpcType
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the MPC type of the section. Possible values are BEAM_MPC,
            ELBOW_MPC, PIN_MPC, LINK_MPC, TIE_MPC, and USER_DEFINED.
        userMode
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the mode of the MPC when it is user-defined. Possible
            values are DOF_MODE and NODE_MODE. The default value is DOF_MODE.The *userMode* argument
            applies only when *mpcType*=USER_DEFINED.
        userType
            An Int specifying to differentiate between different constraint types in a user-defined
            MPCSection. The default value is 0.The *userType* argument applies only when
            *mpcType*=USER_DEFINED.
