        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the load repository key. 
        createStepName
            A String specifying the name of the step in which the substructure load is created. 
        region
            A Region object specifying the region to which the load is applied. 
        loadCaseNames
            A list of names of the load cases that should be activated by this substructure load. 
        magnitude
            A Float specifying the multiplier for the load case magnitude. 
        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 SubstructureLoad object.

        Parameters
        ----------
        stepName
            A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is modified.

        amplitude
            A String or a SymbolicConstant specifying the name of the amplitude reference. Possible 
            values for the SymbolicConstant are UNCHANGED and FREED. UNCHANGED should be used if the 
            amplitude is propagated from the previous analysis step. FREED should be used if the 
            load has no amplitude reference. You should provide the *amplitude* argument only if it
