class BoundaryCondition:
    """The BoundaryCondition object is the abstract base type for other BoundaryCondition
    objects. The BoundaryCondition object has no explicit constructor. The methods and
    members of the BoundaryCondition object are common to all objects derived from the
    BoundaryCondition.

    Attributes
    ----------
    name: str
        A String specifying the boundary condition repository key.
    category: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the category of the boundary condition. Possible values
        are MECHANICAL and THERMAL.
    region: Region
        A :py:class:`~abaqus.Region.Region.Region` object specifying the region to which the boundary condition is applied.
    localCsys: str
        None or a :py:class:`~abaqus.Datum.DatumCsys.DatumCsys` object specifying the local coordinate system of the boundary
        condition's degrees of freedom. If **localCsys=None**, the degrees of freedom are defined
        in the global coordinate system. The default value is None.
