How would I add a spring or spring clip to an assembly such that it constrained to the appropriate surfaces and deflected (extended or compressed) as it would be in real life?

If you are using Pro Engineer there is an option called "Flexible Parts". it means, after insert the part in assy you have define it as flexible part and the upper and lower limit. then it will become flexible . and it will behave like real life product. (i havent tried this with variable pitch and conical kind of Coil springs)
