Modeling of a flat spiral (clock) spring

[mph070770]

Hi All,

I'm very new to Fusion360 and I'm wondering if what I'm hoping to model is unrealistic.  I'd like to model a clock spring, and be able to drag the end of the spring to compress/uncompress the spring in the model (to see how it interacts with the rest of the design).  Is this possible?  I've seen a youtube video for a hack to make a coiled spring work but nothing for a spiral. 

In the example below, this shows the uncompressed resting state.  I'd like to be able to drag the outer open end and tightly compress the spring, removing the gap between the revolutions.

Any suggestions?

Am also trying to design a clock spring and in my searching for information on how to go about it I came across this thread. Hello mph070770, have sent you text on Private Messages.

Thanks, am new to CAD and have been searching for information on how to go about starting designing of Spiral Spring. I will use the f3d file you attached as my staring point in my project.
