"""The SurfaceTraction object defines surface traction on a region.
The SurfaceTraction object is derived from the Load object.
Attributes
----------
name: str
A String specifying the load repository key.
angle: float
A Float specifying an additional rotation of **directionVector** about an axis. The
default value is 0.0.
axis: SymbolicConstant
A SymbolicConstant specifying the axis about which to apply an additional rotation of
**directionVector**. Possible values are AXIS_1, AXIS_2, and AXIS_3. The default value is
AXIS_1.
follower: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether the direction of the force changes with rotation. The
default value is ON.This parameter may be modified only if **traction** is GENERAL. You
should provide the **follower** argument only if it is valid for the specified step.
resultant: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether the to maintain a constant resultant force by defining
traction per unit undeformed area. If **resultant** is OFF, traction is defined per unit
deformed area. The default value is OFF.You should provide the **resultant** argument only
if it is valid for the specified step.
traction: SymbolicConstant
A SymbolicConstant specifying how to apply surface traction. Possible values are SHEAR
and GENERAL. The default value is SHEAR.
distributionType: SymbolicConstant
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the surface traction is distributed spatially.
Possible values are UNIFORM, USER_DEFINED, and FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.
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.
userCsys: str
A String specifying a CSYS defined by a user-subroutine. If **userCsys=None**, the degrees
of freedom are defined in the global coordinate system or by the **localCsys** parameter
if defined. The default value is "None".
localCsys: int
None or a :py:class:`~abaqus.Datum.DatumCsys.DatumCsys` object specifying the local coordinate system of the load's degrees
of freedom. If **localCsys=None**, the degrees of freedom are defined in the global
coordinate system or by the **userCsys** parameter if defined. When this member is
queried, it returns an Int. The default value is None.
directionVector: tuple
A :py:class:`~abaqus.BasicGeometry.VertexArray.VertexArray` object of length 2 specifying the direction of the load. Instead of
through a ConstrainedSketchVertex, each point may be specified through a tuple of coordinates. If
**traction** is SHEAR, then **directionVector** will be projected onto the region surface.
This parameter is available only if **traction** is GENERAL or SHEAR.
region: Region
A :py:class:`~abaqus.Region.Region.Region` object specifying the region to which the load is applied.
