Create a State object representing a single dynamic group state.

## Inputs

* **modifier**

  A Honeybee Radiance Modifier object to be applied to this state's parent in this state. This is used to swap out the modifier in multi-phase studies. If None, it will be the parent's default modifier. 
* **shades**

  An optional array of StateGeometry objects to be included with this state. 

## Outputs

* **state**

  A Honeybee State object representing a single dynamic group state. This can be assigned to apertures or shades using the "HB Dynamic Aperture Group" componet or the "HB Dynamic Shade Group" component.
