How do you move a torsion springs in an assembly? (SW2019)

Hi all

As you can see in the topic, I have a small problem in my assembly. My problem is that after creating my twist springs; I integrated it into my assembly but when I move my system it doesn't recognize it as a spring (logical since I didn't tell it that it was). This is where I need you, I would like Solidworks to recognize my springs and move the assembly accordingly, how to do it?

(I admit that I don't have a good grasp of spring designs, because I don't do it very much)

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hello

 

I'm not sure that you can model a spring and make it move dynamically on assemblies. Otherwise you have to do this kind of spring: https://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/3d/creer-un-ressort-variable-avec-deplacement-realiste-sous-solidworks

 

If you want a modeling closer to reality you will probably have to make configurations, with the minimum / maximum angle of the spring and intermediate positions.

 

Kind regards

Hello

See my 2nd tutorial on springs:

By adapting it to your spring, I think you should be able to realize it dynamically.

Hello

Thank you for your answers! I managed to apply your tutorial! Thank you very much! 

And as for the configurations, I had thought about it but I admit that I really wanted some kind of animation that would allow me to see my system moving.

Thank you again and have a good day!
