        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the repository key. 
        instances
            A PartInstanceArray object specifying the instances to which the predefined field is 
            applied. 
        fileName
            A String specifying the name of the job that generated the initial state data. 
        endStep
            The SymbolicConstant LAST_STEP or an Int specifying the step from which the initial 
            state values are to be read or the SymbolicConstant LAST_STEP. The default value is 
            LAST_STEP. 
        endIncrement
            The SymbolicConstant STEP_END or an Int specifying the increment, interval or iteration 
            of the step set in *endStep* or the SymbolicConstant STEP_END. The default value is 
            STEP_END. 
        updateReferenceConfiguration
            A Boolean specifying whether to update the reference configuration based on the import 
            data. The default value is OFF. 

        Returns
        -------
            An InitialState object.
