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

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"
