In this work, we introduce the complete Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{F}_3$ which is a three-dimensional real vector space endowed with a conformally flat metric that is a solution of the Einstein equation. We obtain a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that characterizes the helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$. We show that the helicoid is a complete minimal surface in $\mathbb{F}_3$. Moreover we obtain a local solution of this differential equation which is a two-parameter family of functions ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ explicitly given by an integral and defined on an open interval. Consequently, we show that the helicoidal motion applied on the curve defined from ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ gives a two-parameter family of helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$.

As a generalizing certain geometric property occurred on the helicoid of 3-dimensional Euclidean space regarding the Gauss map, we study ruled submanifolds in a Euclidean space with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind. In this paper, as new examples of cylindrical ruled submanifolds in Euclidean space, we construct generalized circular cylinders and characterize such ruled submanifolds and minimal ruled submanifolds of Euclidean space with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind.
