"""The RotationalBodyForce object stores the data for a rotational body force.
The RotationalBodyForce 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.
centrifugal: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether or not the effect of the load is centrifugal. The default
value is OFF.Note:At least one of **centrifugal** or **rotaryAcceleration** must be
specified and only one must have the value ON.
rotaryAcceleration: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether or not the effect of the load is rotary acceleration. The
default value is OFF.Note:At least one of **centrifugal** or **rotaryAcceleration** must be
specified and only one must have the value ON.
point1: float
A tuple of Floats specifying the first point on the axis of rotation for the load.
point2: float
A tuple of Floats specifying the second point on the axis of rotation for the load.
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. This must be the
first analysis step name.
region
A Region object specifying the region to which the load is applied.
magnitude
A Float specifying the load magnitude.
point1
A sequence of Floats specifying the first point on the axis of rotation for the load.
point2
A sequence of Floats specifying the second point on the axis of rotation for the load.
distributionType
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the load is distributed spatially. Possible values are
UNIFORM and FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.
field
A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField object associated with this load.
The *field* argument applies only when *distributionType*=FIELD. The default value is an

rotaryAcceleration
A Boolean specifying whether or not the effect of the load is rotary acceleration. The
default value is OFF.Note:At least one of *centrifugal* or *rotaryAcceleration* must be
specified and only one must have the value ON.
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
