hello friends welcome to free tutorial
0:02
and in this tutorial we will model this
0:05
flywheel and uh this flywheels also
0:09
having the keyway with a screw for the
0:13
locking and you can see that I have
0:16
already modeled it and it is matching
0:19
with a reference 3D view of our part i
0:24
will show you how you can model this
0:25
part in a Frecad with the help of a part
0:28
design
0:29
workbench for this tutorial I'm using
0:32
the Frecad version 1.0 so you must have
0:36
a Frecad version 1.0 or higher
0:40
version so I will close this file and
0:43
create a new file
0:46
you can also visit my website
0:49
macexus.com where I write articles and
0:53
tutorials on a free CAD and you can also
0:57
access my 3D part library of a free CAD
1:02
you can download the part from here and
1:05
you can use in your projects with
1:08
modifications
1:10
you can also access my 2D drawing
1:13
library where you can uh download this
1:17
2D drawings and uh you can create 3D
1:22
models with respect to these
1:25
drawings you can also support me on
1:29
coffi.com you can buy me a cup of coffee
1:33
your small support will uh help this
1:36
channels to grow and it will motivate me
1:39
to create more awesome content on uh
1:43
free you can find my Kofi donation page
1:46
link in a video description as well as
1:50
you can also see my Kofi page URL on
1:53
this
1:55
header so let's come back to our
1:58
tutorial
1:59
so here I have created a new file and uh
2:02
I will uh activate my part design
2:08
workbench and now
2:11
here I will uh create a body and then
2:16
create a
2:18
sketch now here we will uh create our
2:22
first sketch so we will uh create our
2:26
first sketch on a right
2:28
profile means on a right
2:32
plane and here we will create this half
2:36
portion and then we will revolve around
2:39
this
2:40
axis
2:41
so we will uh make this sketch symmetric
2:46
so for this I will use the polyline tool
2:49
and uh I will
2:52
create a
2:56
line and draw the approximate profile
3:08
let's zoom it and
3:10
uh create a rough profile and then we
3:14
will constrain it with the dimensions
3:30
so here you can see that I have created
3:33
a approximate profile and now let's uh
3:36
constrain it one by
3:39
one so first we will uh add a
3:43
symmetricity constraint to these
3:46
points so click on the symmetricity
3:48
constraint let's uh move our
3:51
uh sketching
3:54
icons and now here I will select the
3:57
symmetricity select this point this
4:00
point and this axis and now add a
4:04
dimensions select a smart dimension
4:06
select this point and this point and
4:10
give it 55
4:12
mm now the
4:14
height of this is of
4:19
22.5 because this is a 45 and here I am
4:22
giving the radius and
4:25
now let's uh
4:29
also constrain the total
4:32
height so select a smart dimension
4:35
select this point and uh this point and
4:39
add a total height of
4:43
127 this is the half of the diameter
4:48
254
4:49
and here this line is horizontal so I
4:54
will select it and uh specify the
4:57
horizontal
5:00
constraint and uh I will move this point
5:03
to the upside
5:06
and let's uh add a symmetricity
5:10
constraint to this point
5:12
so click on the symmetricity select this
5:16
point this point and this axis and uh
5:20
select a smart dimension and uh provide
5:24
it value
5:28
9.5 and
5:30
uh also make this point symmetric so
5:35
click on the again symmetricity select
5:38
this point this point and this axis so
5:41
this is a symmetric
5:44
now we will provide the angle which is
5:47
of 30° so we will select the smart
5:52
dimension and here I will provide the
5:58
30° and uh this outer one is of uh 25 so
6:04
we will also make this
6:06
symmetric click on the symmetricity
6:09
select this this and this uh
6:12
axis and uh select smart dimension
6:15
select this point this
6:18
point and uh provide the 25 mm and now
6:23
here we can see that uh this height is
6:29
unconstrained so we will fix
6:33
it so this point to this point dimension
6:36
is of 15 mm so select this point and
6:40
this point and provide it a 15 mm now
6:45
you can see that our uh sketch is fully
6:48
constrained let's move the dimension so
6:50
that uh you can clearly see
6:52
it this is a 25 let's move angle to the
6:56
outside this is a 15 and this is of
7:00
9.5 so our sketch is fully constrained
7:03
we will close it press zero for
7:07
isometric and here we will select our
7:10
sketch and click on the revolve and here
7:14
we wanted to revolve around the y-axis
7:17
so here I will select the y-axis or you
7:21
can click on the select reference and
7:24
you can click on your own reference so
7:27
here instead of axis I have selected the
7:31
age and
7:33
now let's uh move to the next
7:39
feature which is to create a cut if we
7:44
go to the isometric view so we can see
7:48
here is a
7:50
cut so we will select the front face and
7:53
click on the sketch
7:58
and here I will uh click on the project
8:01
geometry and select this
8:04
diameter and from here I will switch to
8:07
the wireframe and once you rotate it you
8:10
will see
8:11
it and now here I will uh create a
8:14
circle and I will select this created
8:17
circle and this projected diameter and
8:21
say it
8:22
equal and
8:24
now we will create one more
8:30
circle and uh select a smart dimension
8:34
and provide this diameter of uh
8:39
218 you can cross check this dimension
8:43
from
8:44
drawing and now I will close
8:50
it and let's switch to the flat lines
8:56
view and now we will select the sketch
8:59
and uh create a cut off of 5 mm select
9:02
the sketch click on the
9:04
cut and say it 5
9:10
mm now let's move to the drawing view so
9:14
now the cut we have created here is the
9:17
same on the other side so we will mirror
9:20
this so click on this pocket and click
9:23
on the mirror and from here select the
9:27
reference and select this exit
9:30
plane so you can see that our cut is got
9:33
mirror on the both the side and say
9:39
okay now let's uh save our part
9:47
so let's make it
9:50
R1 and
9:52
now we will move to the next
9:56
feature which is if you see here in a
10:01
main view of drawing so here is a cut
10:05
whose profile is given
10:07
here so this is a 29 and uh this is the
10:11
R95 this is R10 so we will add this
10:15
fillet
10:17
radius later first we will create a cut
10:20
so here I have a selected a face and
10:22
click on the sketch and for right
10:25
orientation press zero so we will make
10:28
this front
10:29
normal and we will create this cut so
10:34
let's switch to the wireframe
10:37
view and let's h create a threepoint
10:43
arc select threepoint arc and uh create
10:47
a arc and now here I will select this
10:50
point and this point and add a
10:53
coincidence and this uh radius is of 32
10:57
so I will select smart dimension and uh
11:00
provise the
11:03
32 and here I will create one more
11:06
radius and I will join the points so
11:10
from here select the one more radius and
11:15
select the points and uh add a
11:17
coincidence
11:19
constraint now the outer radius is of
11:22
R95 which we can see here so we will
11:25
select a smart dimension and uh make it
11:28
R 95 now we will move this radius point
11:34
and select a line tool and uh close our
11:43
profile and now we will give the
11:47
angle so this is a
11:51
29° so we will give the
11:55
29 and this one will
12:00
be 29 * 2
12:03
58 and we will
12:06
uh move
12:09
it and now let's see what is the
12:13
unconstraint so we can see that
12:16
uh angle is uh given but it is not
12:20
constant because this center point is
12:22
not defined so we will uh click on the
12:25
line
12:27
tool and uh we will make this line as a
12:31
construction line and we will select
12:34
this line and this line and uh give the
12:38
parallel
12:39
constraint same way we will uh move this
12:45
point and uh create a line which will
12:48
pass from this center to this point and
12:52
uh we will also make it a construction
12:55
and now select this point and this point
12:57
by pressing the control key and add a
13:00
parallel D so here our uh sketch is
13:03
fully
13:05
constrained let's move the
13:07
dimensions and close it
13:11
now we will select our sketch and click
13:14
on the
13:15
pocket and we will say it true all and
13:18
say
13:19
okay so our cut is created and now here
13:24
is a fillet of R10 so we will add a
13:28
fillet of R10 to the all four corners of
13:31
our cut so click on the fillet tool and
13:36
select the
13:38
edge and uh select this edge so once you
13:42
click on the edge it is added here and
13:45
you can remove any edges by clicking on
13:50
remove now select all the four
13:58
edges and here fillet we wanted to give
14:01
the 10
14:03
mm say
14:05
okay so you can see that uh fillet is uh
14:10
created and
14:13
now we will uh provide one more
14:18
fillet and uh we will polar pattern it
14:21
so if we go in a side view so here we
14:25
can see the fillet of
14:28
R3 so we will click on the fillet and
14:32
provide the value R3 and uh select this
14:39
edge and this bottom edge and say
14:43
okay so you can see that
14:47
uh fillet is created now we will uh
14:51
polar pattern this all three pocket
14:54
fillet
14:56
there are the two fillet one is of R10
14:58
and this one is of R3 now click on the
15:01
polar
15:03
pattern and here we will uh define our
15:09
axis so be patient uh if free CAD takes
15:14
some time now here uh you can see that
15:16
y-axis is automatically selected and
15:20
number of uh instances I will give the
15:25
four there are the four cuts and uh say
15:31
okay so here is a free is recalculating
15:35
so have the
15:38
patience so you can see that the fread
15:41
recalculated it and uh transformation is
15:45
succeed say
15:51
okay now there is a keyway
15:55
profile on our flywheel and whose detail
15:59
is given
16:03
here so now we will select this face and
16:07
uh create this keyway profile let's uh
16:09
save our model
16:11
first and here I will press my zero for
16:16
isometric view and we will select the
16:18
face and click on the
16:21
sketch and now
16:23
here we see this front inverted
16:28
so for better orientation press zero and
16:32
we want to create the keyway in this way
16:36
so we will make this front cube normal
16:39
and now here I will uh create a
16:45
circle and uh I will create a rectangle
16:51
here and I will delete this horizontal
16:54
line and I will use the trim tool to
16:58
remove the unnecessary geometry select
17:00
this age this age and also remove this
17:03
arc so this is the profile and the here
17:06
is the width of a key is 6 mm so we have
17:12
to make this symmetric click on the
17:15
symmetricity select this point this
17:17
point and this axis select a smart
17:20
dimension and uh give it a 6 mm and here
17:26
height is given is of
17:29
22 so we will select a line tool and uh
17:33
create
17:36
a horizontal line select uh this and
17:40
this and add a coincidence select this
17:44
and this and add a tangent select this
17:49
horizontal line and make it construction
17:51
and now we will select a smart dimension
17:54
select this point and uh this point and
17:58
here we will add a dimensions
18:01
22
18:03
and define the diameter diameter is of
18:08
20 so
18:10
here radius we are defining so we will
18:13
give it 10 and this you can see here
18:17
diameter 20
18:19
now we have a fully constrained sketch
18:23
total height 20 and uh this is the
18:27
diameter 20 now we will uh close
18:31
it and uh we will select the sketch and
18:34
click on the
18:40
cut and from here we will say it true
18:44
all and say
18:47
okay
18:50
now here is a screw detail is given and
18:55
if we move here we can see is detail uh
18:58
this is a
19:00
M4 and uh this screw is on the this
19:05
diameter surface so we will create a
19:08
DATM plane at a distance of 22.5 so we
19:12
will select this top plane and here you
19:15
will get options create a data plane and
19:19
in a Z
19:22
directions
19:25
22.5 and we will switch to this front
19:28
face so we can clearly see that a
19:31
tangent plane is
19:34
created and let's uh off the origin
19:37
plane and we will create our whole
19:39
sketch on this plane so here is a
19:42
rebuilt options click on recomputee
19:44
select the data plane and click on the
19:48
sketch and now
19:52
here we will project this edge click on
19:55
the project geometry and uh project it
19:59
and here click on the circle and create
20:03
a circle on this axis and select a smart
20:07
dimensions and uh this is of M4 so we
20:12
will create a diameter 4 sketch and
20:15
position is of 8 mm from the H so we
20:20
will select this age and this diameter
20:23
and provide the 8 mm now we will close
20:28
it and we will hide this data plane and
20:32
we will select this sketch and click on
20:34
the whole
20:36
wizard and in a whole wizard we will
20:39
define this
20:42
parameter so here we will select the
20:44
isometric regular
20:46
profile and uh
20:50
here I will define the dimensions 12
20:53
mm and this is the
20:58
threaded and we will uh keep the class
21:01
as it is and set it to the right hand
21:04
and here select the counter
21:08
sync and uh now you will see the options
21:12
so diameter is of
21:16
8 diameter 8 and depth we will set
21:31
uh.5 and now say
21:37
okay now we will switch to the right
21:39
view and uh from here we will uh switch
21:42
to the
21:44
wireframe so you can see that
21:47
uh cut is created here and
21:51
now let's switch to the flat line so
21:53
this diameter is very small so we will
21:57
uh edit our hole and we will see what
22:01
went wrong
22:08
so
22:09
here
22:12
isometric regular profile is there and
22:15
now here we will
22:19
define the thread
22:22
class which is uh it took the
22:26
M1 so let's select a isometric regular
22:30
profile and from here in a drop-down
22:33
select the
22:34
M4 because there is a tapping of M4 and
22:39
now it looks
22:40
perfect say
22:47
okay now here uh angle is given a 90°
22:52
and this is of 8 mm so if this uh depth
22:57
is looking too much then we can also
23:00
customize it from here and uh instead
23:03
here is a
23:05
diameter we will give the 8 mm and uh
23:09
for the depth is a 90° given and uh
23:13
let's control the depth with a
23:20
0.5 okay so keep as it is because if we
23:24
give the depth then this is increasing
23:26
so we will keep it as a 8 mm and we will
23:31
keep
23:32
it
23:34
zero and we will say
23:39
okay so this is completes our model and
23:43
uh you can see that we have uh
23:46
successfully converted it and uh there
23:49
are some minor details which uh you can
23:51
provide like uh chamfer is of 1 mm c1 C1
23:56
is given on the both the edges so I will
23:59
uh select it and give the
24:05
chamfer 1 mm say okay
24:11
now press zero so this completes our
24:13
model and it is matching with our
24:18
uh isometric
24:21
view if we switch it to the right
24:24
orientation so you can see that it is a
24:26
perfectly matching so this tutorial is
24:29
designed for the beginner user and uh in
24:32
this tutorial we have learned so many
24:34
tools like uh mirror polar pattern
24:38
template jumper fillet etc so this is
24:41
all about this tutorial how to model
24:43
flywheel in a free CAD thank you for
24:47
watching and thank you for your valuable
