SPRING design in NX

SPRING design in NX

Hi,

I haven't ever design a spring with this profile.
How would you create it?....
The dimension could be flexible(in value or units, mm/inch); the only requirement is to keep the shape from attachment as close as possible.

Thanks!

RE: SPRING design in NX

Depending on what version of NX you're using, it may not be all taht difficult to create a model of a spring like that. Now if there is also a need to make it a 'Deformable Component' so that you can show it assembled with different amounts of compression, that's a bit trickier but it could still be done.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thanks Mr. Baker,
I was wondering if you could teach us to create the spring in NX 9.0.
Just a regular 3D design, no "Deformable Component" task needed...................

Thanks!

What's the gauge of the wire? It looks like it's about 0.125 dia.

It is 1.185 dia.
I look forward to see your project.
