I have an assembly with two circular arrays of springs. The springs are assemblies with 2 plates that are variably constrained. On the 1st array the spring was inserted into a pocket then mated to another part sitting on it. The part is variably constrained to the plate with the spring pocket. If I make the 1st component spring in the array adaptive, the part moves up and down within the range of the spring's travel contraint. If I try to make another array of the same or even a different but smilar spring the loaded part does not move. The "adaptive" designation is greyed out and a message about using a flexible constraint in an array is not allowed. I don't understand what the problem is. Can only one array in an assembly be adaptive?
The only work around seems to be insert individual springs and set each one to flexible constraint.
I would either Animate Parameters in Inventor Studio
or
use Dynamic Simulation Spring Force Joints.
What is your design intent for spring animation?

I don't know how to use Inventor Studio or Dynamic Simulation Spring Force Joints. The intent of modeling the spring is to drive the parts list and as a check on spring selection. I created models of springs that I commonly use and plug them into the assemblies being built. The modeled spring won't let me over compress it if the one chosen is too short for the travel required. Since Flexible doesn't work with an array, but adaptive does sometimes, I guess I will let it work when it does and inset individual flexible components when it won't. Thank you for your suggestions.
