hello friends welcome to Frecad tutorial
0:03
and uh in this tutorial we will model
0:05
this uh bearing bracket in Frecad as you
0:08
can see that uh I have already model it
0:12
with respect to the isometric drawing of
0:14
a bearing bracket and I will show you
0:17
from the scratch how you can do the same
0:21
in Frecad with the help of a part design
0:23
workbench so let's start our tutorial if
0:27
you want to learn free CAD from the
0:29
scratch then you can buy my complete
0:32
free CAD course from zero to expert this
0:35
course also available on Udemy but uh
0:39
problem is that uh UDMI only give me the
0:43
37% of a course selling you can see here
0:46
user had paid $15 but I have only got $5
0:54
if you wanted to see the review of my
0:56
course you can go to the Udemy and s
0:59
search for the free CAD and you will see
1:02
my course complete free CAD course from
1:05
zero to expert and this course is took
1:08
by the more than 2,000 students and I
1:12
have got the rating of a
1:14
4.1 for the demo lectures you can expand
1:18
it and uh see the demo lectures and the
1:22
course structure but I will uh request
1:26
you if you found my course interesting
1:29
and the reviews of the other student on
1:33
Udemy then I would request you to buy my
1:38
course from the my coffee shops because
1:42
if you buy from here it will help me a
1:45
lot
1:47
so once you buy my course you will be
1:50
redirected to the Google drive and here
1:52
is the my course complete free course
1:56
from zero to expert go inside and uh the
2:01
sections I have shown you on my Kofi
2:05
shop page so exactly same lectures under
2:10
the section is created for example
2:14
section one is a introductions to free
2:17
1.0 and what is new in a freecad 1.0 so
2:21
if you go to the section one so there
2:24
are the 18 lectures and if you go inside
2:27
of the sections one you will find the 18
2:31
lecture total and once you go to the
2:34
lecture one you will find a video file
2:37
which you can download to your system
2:40
and you can watch it and this course is
2:45
uh updated on a equal interval of a time
2:48
once the new feature is came and uh once
2:51
you purchase the course you have the
2:54
lifetime access to the course and in the
2:58
case of any doubt any query you can mail
3:00
me at admin
3:04
ratemnexus.com you can find my course
3:06
link on my YouTube channel you can see
3:09
the course link and uh you can also find
3:13
my Kofi course page link on uh pin
3:17
comments and uh video
3:24
descriptions now I will uh close this
3:27
file and I will create a new
3:30
file and uh before starting we will read
3:33
our drawing how we are going to proceed
3:37
so first uh we will make this base
3:41
feature and after that uh we will make
3:47
this uh
3:48
rib and we will make this round features
3:52
and at the last we will adapt all these
3:55
holes
3:57
so here I have uh activated the part
4:00
design workbench and
4:03
now I will uh insert a
4:06
body and I will on my plane and from
4:10
here I will select the XY plane and
4:13
create a
4:16
sketch and now I will uh create a
4:23
rectangle and uh I will make it uh
4:28
symmetric so for symmetricity I will uh
4:31
select this
4:32
point this point and origin point and
4:37
now I will uh give my
4:39
dimension so this is the 84 so I will
4:42
select it and give it uh 84 and this one
4:47
is a
4:51
70 so this is our base features and uh
4:55
if you see our drawing we can see that
4:57
uh it is a 11 mm
5:00
thick so I will close my sketch and
5:03
click on the
5:05
pad and I will give my thickness 11 mm
5:08
and say okay
5:11
now I will on my
5:14
plane and I will switch to the isometric
5:18
and
5:19
now we will create this middle features
5:23
on our mid plane YZ so I will select the
5:27
plane and create a
5:32
sketch and I will switch to the
5:34
isometric view and first thing which I
5:38
will do is uh I will project my
5:42
age and now I will select the line
5:46
tool and
5:48
uh create a
5:54
line so this is not merge so I will
5:57
select it and say
5:59
merge and now I will
6:03
uh create a circle at a height of 162
6:09
which we can see
6:16
here and uh this circle OD would be 46
6:22
so I will select this circle and uh give
6:25
the diameter dimension of uh 46
6:31
and from the bottom it is a 162 at the
6:35
top but if you see the center is a 133
6:40
so we have origin point and circle
6:42
origin point and we will give the
6:44
dimension
6:47
133
6:50
now we will make it
6:53
construction and now I will uh create a
6:57
two
7:01
line
7:02
randomly and I will move this line
7:05
outside of the
7:07
circle and I will select these two and
7:13
uh make it tangent and we will do the
7:16
similar thing here we will make it
7:19
tangent
7:21
and
7:22
uh we have the two option either we can
7:25
trim or we can make a arc and point
7:28
constraint so we will go with the trim
7:30
and we will trim
7:34
it so
7:37
here if you trim then it is getting
7:41
whole line get disappeared so what we
7:43
will do we will select this arc and
7:45
point and make it
7:48
coincidence and we will create a
7:51
threepoint
8:02
arc and we will create one arc
8:12
so we have a fully constrained
8:15
sketch now we will come out of the
8:19
sketch and uh we will extrude it to the
8:23
8 mm we can see here the thickness is 8
8:25
mm so we will select the sketch click on
8:28
pad and give our dimension 8 mm and we
8:32
will keep it symmetric to the plane and
8:35
we will say
8:36
okay so these are the two features which
8:39
we have drawn now we will move to the
8:41
next feature so the next feature is this
8:45
uh round so we will
8:47
again on our plane and if you see here
8:52
we have the mid plane passing through
8:55
our
8:57
body so we will select this plane and uh
9:00
create our sketch so we will select this
9:02
YZ plane and click on sketch and
9:06
now I will off the plane
9:11
now we will project the geometry and now
9:14
I will uh create a
9:19
circle and one more
9:22
circle so outer circle is automatically
9:26
got constraint with our projected
9:28
geometry now the inner one is a
9:32
28.57 so we will select it and
9:36
uh give the diameter of uh
9:43
28.57 now we will close the
9:48
sketch and now we will read the
9:50
dimensions so we can see that it is a 34
9:53
it is a symmetric from the center to the
9:56
age is 17 so we will select the sketch
9:59
click on the
10:00
pad and we will give the dimension 34
10:04
and we will keep it symmetric to the
10:06
plane and we will say
10:08
okay now we will move to the next
10:12
feature now our next feature is this rib
10:16
which we can see here so for this we
10:19
will again on our origin plane and we
10:22
can see that if you see from the right
10:25
side we have the mid plane so we
10:29
will select this exit plane and uh
10:34
create a sketch now go to the model tab
10:37
of the plane and now here first thing
10:40
which we will do is uh we will project
10:43
the
10:44
geometry so I will project this
10:47
edge and
10:49
uh I will also project this edge for
10:53
better visibility I will go to the
10:57
wireframe and now here we will read the
11:00
dimensions so we can see here if you
11:03
zoom our uh model so we can see here
11:07
here is a radius
11:13
R32 and
11:16
uh it is
11:20
a 10 mm which we can see
11:25
here
11:26
so we
11:29
will create a
11:32
line and then we will create a
11:35
threepoint
11:38
arc and first thing which we will do we
11:41
will merge
11:43
this arc
11:45
point and we will add the tangency
11:51
relation and we will also make this
11:54
tangent
11:59
so here we can see the dimension 10
12:03
mm so I will select this point and our
12:07
origin
12:08
point and give a dimension of 10 mm
12:13
and
12:16
now I will select the line
12:20
tool and I will draw a horizontal line
12:24
and uh I
12:26
will draw a vertical line now we have
12:31
the projected geometry here so we will
12:33
again draw one
12:37
line and we will merge these two points
12:44
and we will select this point and line
12:46
and make it
12:48
coincidence now
12:50
here we will make this geometric
12:53
construction and we will draw one more
12:57
line so we have the
13:03
fully constraint sketch
13:07
now we will uh switch to
13:11
the flat
13:13
lines and we will come out of the
13:17
sketch and we will click on the
13:20
pad and from here we will select
13:23
symmetric to the
13:25
plane now we will see the thickness of
13:28
our uh this created sketch so if we zoom
13:32
it then we can find it it is a 8 mm
13:35
thick so we will give the dimension 8
13:39
mm and we will keep it symmetric to the
13:42
plane and click on
13:45
okay now the next
13:50
feature now our next feature is we will
13:54
create this boss so for
13:57
this we will uh select the mid
14:05
plane and we will again select this YZ
14:09
plane and create a
14:11
sketch now we will switch to the
14:15
wireframe
14:17
view now we will select the
14:20
circle and create an approximate circle
14:24
now we will uh read the
14:33
dimension now if we see our model then
14:38
here is a radius given R81 which is a
14:43
passing through this center so for this
14:47
we will uh
14:48
project this circle and we will uh
14:52
create a
14:54
circle and we will give it the
14:59
diameter 81 * 2 and
15:04
now we will add the
15:08
relation so we can see that we have
15:10
found one dimension but it can move on
15:14
arc anywhere so we will fix the
15:18
position so if you see it is a 14 mm
15:22
from the center here it is given so we
15:24
will select this and uh select these two
15:29
points and add the horizontal dimension
15:32
of 14
15:33
mm and now we will uh add the diameter
15:37
which is of uh 29
15:43
we will select
15:51
it so if we zoom it then we can find
15:55
that it is a 29 diameter
15:57
now the circle which we have created we
16:01
will make it
16:03
construction and now I will switch to
16:07
the
16:09
isometric of my plane and come out of
16:12
the
16:14
sketch now if you see the extrusion
16:16
dimension so it is a 33 total and from
16:20
the center one side it is a 17
16:23
so we will select the
16:25
sketch switch to the flat lines and
16:28
click on the pad and from drop-down we
16:31
will select the two
16:34
dimensions at one direction it is a
16:39
17 and uh other direction it will be the
16:46
16 so just to check the dimension we
16:49
will add uh 170 so this this is the 17
16:53
which is the right so I will remove this
16:55
zero that is for only checking purpose
16:58
now I will close
17:00
it so you can see that we have added the
17:03
boss now we will move to the next
17:06
feature now if we see our model we can
17:10
see a note here is that identical ribs
17:14
on the both the sides so we will find
17:18
out our ribs
17:20
so this pad 003 is our rib and we will
17:24
mirror it so for
17:26
this click on the mirror tool and uh
17:30
click on pad
17:32
003 and click on okay and from here you
17:38
can see that uh it automatically took
17:40
this YZ plane and mirror it but it is
17:44
recommended to manually select the plane
17:47
select reference and select this YZ
17:51
plane and click on
17:52
okay so you can see that we have mirror
17:57
the rib now we will move to the next
18:02
feature now we will uh select this face
18:06
and uh create this hole so for this I
18:10
will create a sketch and uh I will
18:13
project the
18:14
geometry so that I get a center now
18:17
I select the circle tool and create one
18:21
circle so this is of the bore of the 13
18:25
mm
18:27
drill so you can make with a hole
18:29
feature as well but I am going to use
18:32
the extrude cut feature so now I will
18:36
give it a diameter of 13 mm now I will
18:40
close it and uh I will click on the
18:43
pocket tool and uh I will set it through
18:46
all let's say
18:49
okay now we will uh move to the next
18:53
feature so next feature is we will
18:56
create this boss so we can see that from
19:00
the bottom it is a 162 so we will uh on
19:04
our origin plane and we will create a
19:07
DATM plane so I will select my base
19:10
plane and click on the DATM plane
19:13
options and from
19:16
here in a Z direction I will enter this
19:20
value
19:24
162 so you can see that a data plane has
19:27
been created click on okay
19:32
now here is a rebuild option so rebuild
19:37
it you can also click on mark to
19:41
recomputee so that it will recomputee
19:43
whole
19:45
body now select the data plane and uh
19:49
click on the
19:51
sketch and here it is at the center so
19:55
here I will uh draw the circle of uh 17
20:06
mm select the diameter option and give
20:09
it a diameter of 17 close
20:12
it and uh select the data plane press
20:16
the space bar key and hide the data
20:18
plane now select the created sketch and
20:22
uh click on the
20:24
pad you will not see anything here
20:27
because it is ex extruding in opposite
20:31
directions so click on here
20:34
reverse and here you can see that now we
20:37
are seeing our pad go to the
20:40
drop-down click on up to face and select
20:44
this face so that is the end conditions
20:48
so that our pad will be stopped on this
20:50
surface and click on
20:53
okay now we will uh move to the next
20:59
feature our next feature is to create
21:02
the emit hole of page
21:06
1.25 so for this I will select this face
21:09
and create a sketch and here I want emit
21:15
hole so simply I will select the circle
21:18
and uh create a circle and give it a
21:23
dimension of 8 mm now I will close
21:27
it and now I will use the whole
21:33
tool and here I will select the
21:37
isometric regular profile
21:42
and here I will select my size which is
21:45
of
21:53
M8 and I will give the
21:58
distance so this is the 28 and this is
22:01
the 46 so this thickness will
22:07
come so uh this thickness will come uh
22:11
2886
22:13
so 18 mm so roughly if I give here 25 mm
22:18
that is fine because we do not have the
22:21
end condition option else we have
22:23
selected this face so it should pass
22:27
here that is fine and here you can set
22:30
your drill point flat or angle so I will
22:33
go with a flat flat
22:35
drill and say okay now if I go to the
22:40
whole feature
22:44
here so you will see
22:47
the your whole profile like uh it is a
22:51
emit
22:53
hole custom values cut diameter cut
22:57
depth and here is a threaded
23:00
feature so it is false and you can set
23:03
it
23:05
true and go to the
23:13
isometric now let's move to the next
23:22
feature our next feature is to add the
23:26
fillet to our uh base plate
23:29
so this is of R8 18 so we will select
23:34
the fillet
23:36
options and we will give here value
23:41
18 and we will click on select and we
23:45
will select the all four
23:47
ages and we will rotate our
23:54
model and click on okay so you can see
23:58
that fillet has been
24:00
added now our next step is we will add
24:03
these four drill
24:06
holes so for this I will uh select the
24:10
face and uh create a
24:13
sketch so these are
24:16
the drill holes of uh 8 mm size so I'm
24:21
not going to use the hole tool i am
24:24
going to use with a
24:28
pocket so here I will select a rectangle
24:33
for my convenience and I will uh go to
24:37
the wireframe it is my practice so that
24:40
uh with a rectangle I can control the
24:43
positions and uh this rectangle will be
24:46
the
24:48
construction and now I will make it
24:50
symmetric i will select this
24:53
point this point and my origin point now
24:57
I will give the
24:59
dimensions so if you see here it is a 58
25:03
and it is a
25:06
46 so I will select this line and I will
25:10
add the dimension
25:11
46 and I will select this line and add
25:15
the horizontal dimension of uh 58
25:21
now I will create four
25:32
circle and I will select all the circles
25:35
and make it
25:38
equal and I will give the one of the
25:40
circle my drill size which is of 8 mm so
25:45
you can see that uh my all circle or got
25:49
constraint and best part of uh using
25:51
this rectangular sketch is you can
25:54
easily modify the dimensions if you
25:58
change this dimension then your
26:00
rectangle get modified and your whole
26:02
position will get changed so this is the
26:05
my practice you can use uh your method
26:09
now we will switch to the flat lines and
26:13
we will select our sketch and click on
26:15
the pocket tool and we will say it
26:19
through all and say
26:21
okay
26:23
now you can see that uh we have
26:26
completed our model there is a a common
26:29
node of
26:31
uh fillet so you can see here all
26:34
fillets and rounds are the R3 which
26:37
means that uh you have to add the fillet
26:40
to the all edges of R3 which I'm not
26:44
going to add because uh this will takes
26:47
too much time so this is how we have
26:50
model bearing bracket in freead with the
26:54
help of a part design
26:56
workbench so this is all about this
26:58
tutorial how to model bearing bracket in
27:01
freead thank you for watching and thank
27:04
you for your valuable
