Hi everyone,

New here but have been lurking. I modeled a normal compression spring in ANSYS but now I need to model a conical spring. Can anyone advise me on how to go about this? I'm thinking that after I create the first couple nodes I will need to create the rest but include an offset after each active coil is finished? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!
