rectangular section spring

[friulair-max]

I tried to make a rectangular section spring as from attached image. I created the trajectory with a 3d sketch but it turns out heavy and difficult to change. how would you do that?

First of all the section of a spring is related to the wire, so you made a square coil spring with a circular section cable tube.

If you place the model or feautures for how you did it, we can understand how you did it. However it serves a section and a curve to start the sweep. can be a 3d shizzo of a kind of rectangular propeller.

 

[friulair-max]

you are right the section refers to the thread... It's Monday... We understand each other anyway.
Now put the part.

I solved this, but I'm not sure it's the best system.

 

[friulair-max]

as it said mechanicalmg I incorrectly indicated with "section" the shape of the coil. you have changed the shape of the tube wire to rectangle that is not my case. cmq thanks to your time.

the component I have to draw is a 10mm sp1 copper tube wrapped like a spring but with a rectangular shape. the problem is that I have to draw a variety of sizes for custom machines and I need a fast and automated way to generate the sweep function. With 3d sketch it is a little laborious

Don't you really want the corners?
I don't understand. :biggrin:

In practice I need it as in jpg, but I was looking for a method to model the component quickly and not building a 3d sketch.

a question must only change the form and step, or even the number of coils?

 

[friulair-max]

also the number of spires.... .

I don't know if I'm even the number spires.
I'm just thinking about spying and repeating it for x times, I'm going to practice you, see if it's okay.
with the equations change step, n coils and radius, with the shizzo of departure the base.

I look forward to other solutions.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Try this

 

[SolidUser]

I would do as an image attached.

 

[friulair-max]

Okay, try both of you. I prefer the soliduser solution, although with my ws it is lighter the solition of ciarly; Thank you all.
