1. Insert → Curve → Spiral
2. Select the upward datum plane and draw a circle with the diameter of the middle diameter of the spring with the origin as the center. After sketching, click on the top right corner to exit sketching and enter the next step.
3. This step is to set up the generation of spiral. For Definition Method, select Height and Number of Circles.
4. Draw the section circle of the spring steel wire. Select the forward-looking datum plane and draw a circle with the starting point of the spiral as the center, the size of which is the diameter of the spring wire.
How to add spring stiffness in Solidworks?
Control the movement of machinery, such as valve spring in internal combustion engine and control spring in clutch.
Absorb vibration and impact energy, such as buffer springs under automobiles and trains, and damping springs in couplings.
Store and output energy as power, such as clock springs, springs in firearms, etc.
Used as force measuring element, such as dynamometer, spring in spring scale, etc.
