helical spring

[aerox]

Hello everyone, I'm trying with a spring that should be parametric! then I managed using the electronic sheet to put all variables except one: the control of the height and pitch (or number of edges) of the support curve that I cannot parameterize them.

I can't change these two settings when I decide the propeller curve anymore. for now I have a solid spring that I can reduce it in height but obviously the number of edges varies according to the cut. Any idea?

the purpose is to put it in a shock absorber to make an animation by controlling the variables.

thanks to all

hi aerox, it seems to me that a parametric spring can find it among the smart object.

Hello, thank you I just found it..cert that I become a nice mess to take this and puts back the plans to cut it (I don't want entire ears at the ends but as if they were seated). Now I see if I can keep what I did otherwise I will naive myself with the smart object!

I put myself and managed to: Now I can check the step that flows into the animation where there is a shock absorber that starts compressed and then downloads then I put two pockets to give a spring effect "segated from both sides" and all and parametric from electronic sheet, I feel satisfied!thanks again for the right of the smart object!

Well, the speech of the two pockets is exactly what you had to do in the case of a flat spring. Bye.
