Hi,

I have made a deformable spring with a helix curve. I have tried to do the same features and expressions except the trim bodies like in this thread:

After I have created the deformable feature, it won’t work in the assembly , I don’t understand why?
It changed the length but with the same pitch….I can not find what did I make wrong.
It’s getting a little bit nerves…

I'm using NX 9.0...

 
You had 'Height/nr_of_turns' formula assigned to the wrong expression. It should have been assigned to 'p3' instead of 'p13'. In the attached model, I've fixed it up for you.
