I created a 3D model of my spring but I can't apply the properties of a spring to it so that it can compress and be relaxed as it should.
Please help
Hello
Otherwise you can create 3 configurations for a decompressed state then a semi-compressed state then the last one in compressed so play with the configurations according to your needs...

You can also create a spring between 2 planes, and it is these 2 planes that you constrain on your other piece. You will just have to update each time your part is moved so that the spring adapts to the length.

Hello
To complete the information of Max59 (which we salute)
Be careful to select the component and select Make the part flexible
not to be confused with almost the same function used as for the assemblies
@Tous it will be interesting for someone to test the flexible component in the context of a flexible assembly.
Indeed, you should not abuse the flexible component function because it quickly bananas and it turns into a nightmare. This flexible assembly function is practical but not great if you don't have the prudence of a Sioux and the cunning of the Apache.

To best manage the movement of a spring
I'm attaching a walkthrough via this tutorial

@fab camp , it is possible to set the automatic update, but it is likely that this will only be updated when the movement is stopped, even for a microsecond. To be seen in fact, since when you do kinematics as standard, the parts are updated in real time if the kinematics are not too complicated and the movement is too long, otherwise there is a kind of saturation effect of the memory (or of the calculation if the movement is too fast or too frequent). ;-)
Kind regards
Fab camp, you have to design the spring in the assembly as you describe it because otherwise the spring won't compress because you have to give a spacing between the two planes in a part.
