Dynamic Spring Tutorial in Onshape | Onshape Tips

on
Welcome to our platform Learn Onshape. Here you will learn CAD Onshape using the tips and tutorials. 
Today's tutorial is about Assembly and Onshape Animation tips. You will learn how to make dynamic Spring in Onshape using simple tricks.

As in Onshape software, there is no flexible part animation feature. Like for a Spring animation. But today we got the solution for it. 




Steps for Dynamic Spring:
  1. Select the plane and draw a circle with dimensions.
  2. Use helix tool in that select ( height and turns) and draw an helix by selecting the circle and give parameters to it.
  3. Draw the another circle, that should coincide the center of circle to the helix end point of curve.
  4. Now do the sweep operation.
  5. Now do the split operation to the spring part exactly at the center.
  6. Now again draw two supports at the top and bottom of the spring. ( See the video for better understanding)
  7. Now create an assembly as shown in the video. 
  8. Use revolute mates for joining the parts as shown. And put some limits of rotation to the mates. For better Animation of the spring. 
  9. At last do the animate, and change the speed of the no.of.steps, you can see the dynamic Spring Animation.
Actually this method is works with more no of mates. But it gives the satisfaction for the viewer definitely.
