You might just saved my semester, thanks!

Excellent, thankyou. I needed a spring for my quick release steering mechanism, and I finally have it working and demonstrated in my powerpoint for my presentation on Friday.

Wow THANK YOU!!!!! safed my mechanical school homework ❤❤❤❤🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Great presentation. You are easy to understand. May I add a grammar content that may help people in their professional presentations. The phrase "for all intensive purposes" is what is called an "eggcorn". That means that someone at some time heard (but had never seen typed out) the word "acorn" in context with a type of oak tree seed, and started calling those things the squirrels nibble on as eggcorns. People sometimes hear the phrase "for all intents and purposes" and think what was said was "for all intensive purposes" and then they use it in everyday language and in doing so teach others the mistake. Before long more people are learning the wrong way to say it than the right way. That has happened in the USA with "for all intents and purposes". Today I think more people say it wrong than say it right. The highly-educated tend to say it right. I learned the wrong phrase from my dad who was a wonderful man and an electrician. Only after I became old, did I learn the correct way to say it. So if anybody ever gives a presentation at their company and wants to impress their boss, perhaps they should avoid the phrase altogether or use "for all intents and purposes" which actually describes what you mean better. What does an "intensive purpose" mean?

Great tutorial, will help for a dynamic torus joint

Thank you! THANK YOU! You saved my ass on a final project for a solidworks class I am taking, making a mechanical keyboard switch for a final project.

thanks for the video! I'm trying to model a simple model for an ankle exoskeleton to see its effects on running. is it possible on solid works?

beautiful sample!

Thanks for posting! Great tutorial.

This is beautiful

Great tutorial

Thank you

Awesome tutorial.

Very helpful video

thx

NICE TUTURIAL!!

hey great job! was wondering y this spring wouldn't be good for simulation purposes?

I need some help to create a motion analysis. This does work in the animation but doesn't work if I apply a linear motor to top plate to simulate oscillatory motion. Any suggestions?

Thanks a million for this video Jacob. U rock

Thanks, you helped me a lot!

Excellent tutorial!

Thanks for the tutorial. It is excellent.

Nice :)

This was fun to watch! Im just starting to learn Solidworks; do you guys have any tutorial videos that go from beginner to advanced? Or any suggestions for good reference material to learn from besides these awesome videos?

I have an assembly in which at one end, the spring has a little elbow that fits into the end of a handle shaft. The other end of the spring just sits on a curved surface. So when the handle moves in one direction (horizontal), the spring should follow. In the next direction (vertical), spring should follow also. So, it is not just an up and down compression. So far, doing it this way, I have not been able to make it work. Is there a different procedure for my application?

Cool. But can you make the spring compress and extend not in a movie, but in the assembly? That is, when you move the upper piece down, it compresses the spring, and when you release it, the spring extends and moves the upper piece? Is it at least theoretically possible?

Tried to copy this but the centerline is not visible in assembly so not able to make the concentric mate..:-(

thank you bestie

hi, im notice that the movements are not smooth into SW. There is a way to smootheness the animation? (sorry my english)

thnx

While performing sweep operation, I m getting the error, "The profile must be different from the path". Please help.

how to create a spring which goes back to its original place when i releases it

Its cool, but this is not dynamic spring. Its just "parametric". Dynamic would behave accordingly towards the tension its applied to and thats very hard to do. In CREO for example, you can do the same "parametric" model, but to make it "dynamic" you need to add the spring force feature in mechanism sub-app. Its just the play of words, but to me I was searching for something else 😁. Keep up the good work.

Good Example. I guess this would not work if you had made your spring using the helix path sketch tool

why revolution limited to 100
