Question: using animate on a spiral

I've got the following 

with(plots):
tubeplot([cos(t),sin(t),t], t=0..6*Pi, radius=1/3,
style=patchnogrid, shading=Z, axes=box, orientation=[40,70]);

which gives the plot of a spiral and need to make an animation of a rotating spiral.

I've tried 

animate([cos(t),sin(t),t], t=0..6*Pi,numpoints=200,frames=20,shading=Z,axes=box) but that doesn't work. What am I doing incorrectly?
