How to show compression of spring in creo illustrate without using creo mechanism(animation) ?

I am working on one complex assembly project where in between sequence I need to show the compression of spring followed by forward movement of piston. How to achieve this in creo illustrate without using Creo parametric (Mechanism/Animation- no license). 

 

 

Thanks in advance

The only method I know of to show this would be to have two models of the spring, one in the compressed state and the other in the uncompressed state. You would then swap one out for the other.

 

Not an animation as such but Illustrate does not have the ability to deform solid bodies.

    you can scale the item - this will simulate compression (though it really isnt compressing the sprint)

    Hi,

    to get a compression animation you can change the scale of your spring for example in an interval function like this:

    var i = 1;
$interval(function() {
 $scope.view.wdg["modelItem-1"].scale =1 + " " + i + " " + 1;
 i-=0.01;
}
 , 50, 30);
