Hallo,
Since many months I have been designed various gears with MoI. For this I use SpurGearProfile.
Now I need a worm for a gearbox.
All attempts to use Helix for this failed. Can someone please help me?

Piotr PoĊowniak and Mariusz Sobolak have one paper in English on:
"Mathematical description of tooth flank surface of
globoidal worm gear with straight axial tooth..."
with complicated mathematics,
and several versions in a foreign language.
Maybe next winter I'll have a look... No time now :-(
