custom parametric curve - sine wave around a helix

Hi all
I am new to onshape, but i'm trying to make a custom parametric curve using this tool https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e51291ab5731c06f3e3b1f35/w/64de41b63ffed40ea9bdd7ec/e/1347e601dd6a68d3a59f9b2c
I can get wolfram alpha to draw the curve based on equations chatgpt gave me:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i2d=true&i=parametric+plot+%5C%2840%29%5C%2840%295+%2B+1++sin%5C%2840%295++t%5C%2841%29%5C%2841%29++cos%5C%2840%29t%5C%2841%29%5C%2844%29+%5C%2840%295+%2B+1++sin%5C%2840%295++t%5C%2841%29%5C%2841%29++sin%5C%2840%29t%5C%2841%29%5C%2844%29+%5C%2840%29+Divide%5B10%2C%5C%2840%292++pi%5C%2841%29%5D%5C%2841%29++t%5C%2841%29+for+t+from+0+to+10+*+pi+t%5C%2841%29
However I can't get chatgpt's equations to work within the parametric curve tool. Anyone have any helpful suggestions/ideas on how this might be achieved?
Thanks
