toroid-shaped helical spring

[stefer]

Good evening to all,
I disturb you to ask for advice on how to create a toroid-shaped helical spring (as in the photo that I attach).
in practice I have to create it to put it in a oil and despite looking in the forum I did not find solution for solidworks.

Thanks to who will help me.
greetings

Buongiorno a tutti, devo disegnare una molla piegata lungo una circonferenza (allego foto) ma non riesco a capire come creare la sewwp di elica intorno alla circonferenza. Ho anche provato a fare una ssweep con torsione lungo percorso ma non va bene. Il comando "flettere" e piegatura non...

I tried to use the flettere command, but I couldn't properly connect the two spring terminals and above all I went to tentons to insert the proper length to get the circumference I need.
I'm probably wrong with something in the command, but it seems to me that there is no way to point out the two drawing plans as a conjunction?

I calculated the development of the circumference and inserted net edges, in the fletre command, is the preview seems satisfactory, then I confirm the command and I exit a sort of square and that's enough. I'll get you the file...

the preview is this:while the result is this:

Why don't you make it directly folded?

I admit that I'm trying to figure out how it goes directly bent... I also looked at the examples in the post that you linked me, but I haven't been able to replicate yet.
