RE: HELICAL PATH
You'd better show us what's your problems.I think there could be two key problems, one about the path,another about the section.Right?

RE: HELICAL PATH
try to look back into this very forum in order to find out an old thread where this topic was extensively discussed. I remember that the helix was used for an electrical coil, but I can't remember the thread title.

I've found it! see thread 569-124712.
Drej's answer contains two APDLs in order to obtain what you need. The thread also extends about dimension units because it's very important to understand which are the values you input into the macros, otherwise you won't get any coil...
