Wave (Crinkle) Washer Modelling 1

[parasite]

Hi gents, I have been trying to model a wave / crinkle washer in my spare time but I have gotten nowhere.

I understand that I can make it from a simple sweep or use a table for the details but this is all new to me.

Can someone offer me any advice please?

this is a link to the type of item i need:

I remain respecfully sceptical.

Try using a Variable Section Sweep and the Trajpar function. See the following, example 7.
