Create Spring Extension and Compression Motion
Explain how to create an animation of spring (spring) telescopic.
This section explains how to create an animation of a spring (coil) extending and compressing.
You can represent the spring’s motion by creating its shape using Sweep, and applying [Coincident] constraints to both ends of the sweep path and the fixed points.
Please refer to the video below.
