I am using Pro/E Wildfire 4.0 and I need to create a torsion spring model that will update as a mechanism moves. The spring itself is parameter driven and I can update the spring model by changing the number of coils and coil diameter based on calculations. What I would like to do is make this spring a flexible component in my assembly and update the coil and coil diameter parameters in the spring by driving them with an assembly parameter calculated by the angle of movement. My calculated assembly parameters are working fine and I am able to manually update my flexible component, but I can't get the assembly parameter to drive the flexible component...it seems that the flexible component dialog will only take numbers as input. Anyone know how to get around this?
