Hi!

 

I d'ont know any tool to make this automatically.

 

Most of all, 2D and 3D sketches ... with a final sweep.

 

I made one manually, just for curiosity... it works well... see the file attached..

I forget to mention, the rectangular that I have its end not like his start.

Start with rectangular dimension for example 4 x3 but it end with smaler dimension for example 3 x 2.

 

How would the rectangular now folow the shape?

Sorry for this complexation

Loft or Extrude with taper the "tube" as a surface body (increase size by radius of swept feature).

Coil line as surface body.

3D sketch to find Intersection Sweep Path.

Workplane perpendicular to beginning of Sweep Path.

Create profile and Sweep.
