Spring in curved slot

Hey group

 

I need a compression spring to fit in a curved slot, can this be done with design accelerator and also in simulation?

hi group, So is it possible to build a spring around a curve centre line? this would make designing springs to fit in curved slots a lot easier?

and will this be able to be used in simulation as well?

Hi Mike

thanks for your input, however I need more than just the part / graphical representation, I would like the spring to be usable in simulation as well so I can look at the forces and the way it behaves.

It would be good if in simulation and design accelerator a spring could be calculated to start and finish at selcted faces and follow a centre line and then it would follow the curve!
