        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the constraint repository key. 
        shellEdge
            A Region object specifying the name of the shell edge surface. 
        solidFace
            A Region object specifying the name of the solid surface. 
        positionToleranceMethod
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to determine the position tolerance. 
            Possible values are COMPUTED and SPECIFIED. The default value is COMPUTED. 
        positionTolerance
            A Float specifying the position tolerance. The default value is 0.0.The 
            *positionTolerance* argument applies only when 
            *positionToleranceMethod*=SPECIFIED.Note:Abaqus will not constrain nodes on the solid 
            face region outside the position tolerance. 
        influenceDistanceMethod
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to determine the influence distance. 
            Possible values are DEFAULT and SPECIFIED. The default value is DEFAULT. 
        influenceDistance
            A Float specifying the influence distance. The *influenceDistance* argument applies only 
            when *influenceDistanceMethod*=SPECIFIED. The default value is 0.0. 

        Returns
        -------
            A ShellSolidCoupling object.
