modelling a spring in action

[Lepard007]

I have search high and low and tried for many hours to work out how to model a spring such as a coil for a suspension but i cant find anything on fusion 360, utube or any community that will help with how to do this. Is this function possible and if so how do you do it?

To model a a static spring select "Create -> Coil" and the rest is self explanatory.

if you want a spring that can be animated to look like it is being compressed, please look at this thread:

This took 5 minutes using the forums search field 😉

This method is a very clever shortcut and a good exercise for those beginning Fusion 360. However it still would be good to be able to use dynamic parameters as I tried this or humans hrs butter found out that this feature is not available in Fusion 360 just yet so encourage to at this feature
