        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the repository key. 
        mpcType
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the MPC type of the section. Possible values are BEAM_MPC, 
            ELBOW_MPC, PIN_MPC, LINK_MPC, TIE_MPC, and USER_DEFINED. 
        userMode
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the mode of the MPC when it is user-defined. Possible 
            values are DOF_MODE and NODE_MODE. The default value is DOF_MODE.The *userMode* argument 
            applies only when *mpcType*=USER_DEFINED. 
        userType
            An Int specifying to differentiate between different constraint types in a user-defined 
            MPCSection. The default value is 0.The *userType* argument applies only when 
            *mpcType*=USER_DEFINED. 

        Returns
        -------
            A MPCSection object. 

        Raises
        ------
            RangeError and InvalidNameError.
