    """An OptimizationObjective is an object used to define objectives in an objective
    function. 

    Attributes
    ----------
    suppress: Boolean
        A Boolean specifying whe:py:class:`~.the`r :py:class:`~.the` objective is suppressed or not. The default value is
        OFF.
    weight: float
        A Float specifying the weight applied to the design response value. The default value is
        1.0.
    referenceValue: typing.Union[SymbolicConstant, float]
        The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the reference value used in
        evaluating a design response. For topology optimization, DEFAULT> indicates the
        reference value is 0. For shape optimization, DEFAULT indicates the reference value is
        the nodal average. The default value is DEFAULT.
    designResponse: str
        A String specifying the name of the design response.
