        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key. 
        region
            A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied. 
            When used with a TopologyTask, there is no default value. When used with a ShapeTask, 
            the default value is MODEL. 
        growth
            A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the growth direction. Either 
            *growth* or *shrink* or both must be specified. The default value is 0.0. 
        presumeFeasibleRegionAtStart
            A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design 
            cycle. The default value is ON. 
        shrink
            A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the shrink direction. Either 
            *growth* or *shrink* or both must be specified The default value is 0.0. 

        Returns
        -------
            A Growth object.
