Is there a way to model a compression spring at its free length, say 20mm, and set it so that when you put it into an assembly between two other parts that are closer together than 20mm, it compresses to the necessary length?
I’m not talking about driven constraints to animate the spring compressing, the spring won’t be compressing and lengthening in this assembly, but will stay compressed.
I’ve done this in the past but set I up the spring as an iPart with lots of various lengths selectable when the spring is placed in the assembly, but I thought maybe there’s a better way.
Hopefully I’ve explained what I’m after! Can anyone help?
Thanks
Dave
