There are discussions about modeling such shapes on this forum.  See, e.g., Modelling-a-Canted-spring-in-Creo-2-0

There is always more to learn.

The equation from curve is definitely simpler than the techniques involving multiple sweeps (e.g. spring.prt.1.zip by gkrishna )  but it does result in slightly different (more curvy?) geometry?

Not sure whether one or the other is more "physically correct"

Check out the live demo here for toroidal helices. The parametric equations and live demo provide some quick insight in to the behavoir.
