Hi not sure if anyone will reply to this thread .

I have a Diameter 4 Spring with 10 turns and 1mm pitch in an assembly . I want to do the simulation of the spring compression in Motion Simulation .

I know in Nx8 they can define the spring directly . However I was wondering if Nx7,5 can do it .

I already defined an expression for the deformable part to control the length of the spring . Any ideas ?
