Help require - Adaptive Spring on a curve profile

I'm trying to create an adaptive spring on a curve profile. Anyone can help me on this?

I played with this and was unable to get either spiral or thread to work on anything but a straight cylinder, I am sure this is what you have run into as well. I think I have a solution though. Your profile, is it a single curve, a series of curves, or is it a compound curve? If it is just a single curve, you can create a torus by revolving a circle 360deg, then using a plane that is angled to your torus you can circular pattern the torus a set number of times and the same number of degrees as your plane. Use the parameter of the plane angle in place of a number in the circular pattern. I have uploaded a file that can demonstrate.

Hope this helps, it is an imperfect solution but it should do well enough to get the idea across.

Thank you for your tip, will try it.
