Spring joint animation

Hi dear community members. I am trying to use a spring as a tensioner in my model. There is a rod arm connected to the center of this spring, when I turn it, the spring needs to be tensioned. Although there is a piece that holds the spring, I could not make this tension animation as a joint. Can you help me with this? We can think of the model as a small catapult model.

You will not be able to animate the coil spring motion or use a Joint to animate the torsion pressure in Fusion.  You may be able to add motion in the Animation environment but it will be added to the torsion spring only, it will not affect other components.  I have no idea what you can accomplish in the Simulation environment since I do not normally use it.

Dear @jhackney1972 Thanks for the reply. I've seen coil springs moveable before, so I wondered if this kind of spring could move too. I guess I should try it more.
