MakeSpring.py
I asked AI for a spring model maker and here's what it made. It is an external python script that generates Gmsh inputs and then a Calculix input file. To run, I use Python 3.11.2, and you need to add the gmsh package.
I find this thing very handy!
The inputs are hard coded at the bottom
wire_diam=1.12345,
major_diam=15.0123,
active_pitch=10.98765,
active_turns=4.0,
dead_turns=1.0,
ground_ends=False,
mesh_size=0.3
The ground ends doesn't work properly so I leave it False. It's easy enough to use scale in Mecway to flatten the ends to approximate a grind.
