Create Spring Extension and Compression Motion

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.
