Hi,
I'd please like some help to animate a spring with different sized spheres coming out of it as the spring is extended. I am abit new to solidworks, but have been able to draw a 3d coil spring. However, I am unable to animate anything, i.e. extending spring and also unable to place spheres inside the spring. Do you think this is possible with solidworks. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
