"""The Moment object stores the data for a moment.
The Moment object is derived from the Load object.
Attributes
----------
name: str
A String specifying the load repository key.
distributionType: SymbolicConstant
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the load is distributed spatially. Possible values are
UNIFORM and FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.
follower: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether the direction of the force rotates with the rotation of the
node. You should provide the **follower** argument only if it is valid for the specified
step. The default value is OFF.
localCsys: int
None or a :py:class:`~abaqus.Datum.DatumCsys.DatumCsys` object specifying the ID of the Datum coordinate system used as the
local coordinate system of the load. If **localCsys=None**, the load is defined in the
global coordinate system. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The default
value is None.
field: str
A String specifying the name of the :py:class:`~abaqus.Field.AnalyticalField.AnalyticalField` object associated with this load.
The **field** argument applies only when **distributionType=FIELD**. The default value is an
empty string.
region: Region
A :py:class:`~abaqus.Region.Region.Region` object specifying the region to which the load is applied.

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
A Region object specifying the region to which the load is applied.
cm1
A Float or a Complex specifying the load component in the 4-direction.Note:Although
*comp1*, *comp2*, and *comp3* are optional arguments, at least one of them must be
nonzero.
cm2
A Float or a Complex specifying the load component in the 5- direction.
cm3
A Float or a Complex specifying the load component in the 6-direction.
amplitude
