How to model helical spring in ansys

Submitted by Jasjitmann on

Hello All,

I am modeling helical spring wounded on the surface of cylindrical shell. High aspect ratio of helical wire creates problem in meshing. please help me in selecting the element and meshing.

Thanks

First mesh line then surface and finally volume. For meshing the lines select appropriate number of division. You can send me your geometry if this does not work.
