        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the repository key. 
        material
            A String specifying the name of the material. 
        thickness
            A Float specifying the thickness for the section. Possible values are *thickness* >> 
            0.0. The default value is 1.0. 
        thicknessType
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the distribution used for defining the thickness of the 
            elements. Possible values are UNIFORM, ANALYTICAL_FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default 
            value is UNIFORM. 
        poissonDefinition
            A SymbolicConstant specifying whether to use the default value for the Poisson's ratio. 
            Possible values are:DEFAULT, specifying that the default value for the Poisson's ratio 
            is 0.5 in an Abaqus/Standard analysis and is obtained from the material definition in an 
            Abaqus/Explicit analysis.VALUE, specifying that the Poisson's ratio used in the analysis 
            is the value provided in *poisson*.The default value is DEFAULT. 
        poisson
            A Float specifying the section Poisson's ratio. Possible values are −1.0 ≤≤ *poisson* ≤≤ 
            0.5. This argument is valid only when *poissonDefinition*=VALUE. The default value is 
            0.5. 
        thicknessField
            A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField or DiscreteField object used to 
            define the thickness of the shell elements. The *thicknessField* argument applies only 
            when *thicknessType*=ANALYTICAL_FIELD or *thicknessType*=DISCRETE_FIELD. The default 
            value is an empty string. 

        Returns
        -------
            A MembraneSection object. 

        Raises
        ------
            RangeError and InvalidNameError.
