Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the load repository key.
createStepName
A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is created.
region
The wire region to which the load is applied. This argument is not valid when
*fastenerName* and *fastenerSetName* are specified.

A String specifying the name of the assembled fastener to which the load will be
applied. This argument is not valid when *region* is specified. When this argument is
specified, *fastenerSetName* must also be specified. The default value is an empty
string.
fastenerSetName

specified, *fastenerName* must also be specified. The default value is an empty string.
f1
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local
1-direction.Note:Although *f1*, *f2*, and *f3* are optional arguments, at least one of
them must be nonzero.
f2
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local
2-direction.
f3
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local
3-direction.
amplitude
A String or the SymbolicConstant UNSET specifying the name of the amplitude reference.
UNSET should be used if the load has no amplitude reference. The default value is UNSET.
You should provide the *amplitude* argument only if it is valid for the specified step.
Returns
-------
A ConnectorForce object.
