        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key. 
        region
            A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied. 
        beadGrowth
            A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the growth direction. Either 
            *beadGrowth* or *shrink* or both must be specified. The default value is 0.0.
