Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the repository key.
material
A String specifying the name of the material of which the gasket is made or material
that defines gasket behavior.
crossSection
A Float specifying the cross-sectional area, width, or out-of-plane thickness, if
applicable, depending on the gasket element type. The default value is 1.0.
initialGap
A Float specifying the initial gap. The default value is 0.0.
initialThickness
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the initial gasket thickness. If
DEFAULT is specified, the initial thickness is determined using nodal coordinates. The
default value is DEFAULT.
initialVoid
A Float specifying the initial void. The default value is 0.0.
stabilizationStiffness
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the default stabilization stiffness
used in all but link elements to stabilize gasket elements that are not supported at all
nodes, such as those that extend outside neighboring components. If DEFAULT is
specified, a value is used equal to 10–9 times the initial compressive stiffness in the
thickness direction. The default value is DEFAULT.
Returns
-------
A GasketSection object. and ValueError.
