Does anyone have a model of a constant force spring? See image. How would you model this in Pro/E?

    For example:

    constant-force.jpg

    This was started with a Curve From Equation / Cylindrical with the relations:

    x=2+t*2

    r=t*360*5

    z=0

    Then create a Sketched Curve, copy the first Curve with Use Edge, add the end details, and use this Curve to create a Sweep.

    Probably the easiest way is to create a Curve by Equation for the spiral and build from there.
