I've been following some of the section sweep experts on this forum and I've been able to reproduce the following so far.

This is a two layer winding using a curve generated by cylindrical equations as the base for the sweep profile. The equations are:
r=evalgraph("radius",t*16)
theta=360*evalgraph("turns",t*16)
z=evalgraph("z", t*16)

All of the above is taken directly from this post One method to make wound springs I only reproduced what had been done and put the coil reversal condition in it.
How do I take the next step and go from a winding with a round core to one with an irregular shape? I'd like to wrap two layers of a coil around a pill shaped mandrel.
