class LoadState:
    """The LoadState object is the abstract base type for other LoadState objects. The
    LoadState object has no explicit constructor or methods. The members of the LoadState
    object are common to all objects derived from LoadState.

    Attributes
    ----------
    amplitudeState: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the **amplitude** member. Possible
        values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
    status: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the :py:class:`~abaqus.Load.LoadState.LoadState` object. Possible
        values are:
            - NOT_YET_ACTIVE
            - CREATED
            - PROPAGATED
            - MODIFIED
            - DEACTIVATED
            - NO_LONGER_ACTIVE
            - TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE
            - INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE
            - BUILT_INTO_BASE_STATE
    amplitude: str
        A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the load
        has no amplitude reference.
