Sir I would have approached this differently to save time. First I would have created the outer race as you did. I would then do a save as and name it inner race. I would then edit the elements in the new file by taking the race elements and flipping them and make a few changes to the offset. This would allow you to create both the outer and inner race much faster. If you didn't want to use the same as command I would just start a new part and copy all the elements from the outer race file and flip them also saving you time. Just my 2 cents on how to do this faster. Also as you know the hardest part of a ball bearing to drawing is the ball retainer to keep the balls evenly spaced. I noticed that you did not include a retainer.
@@bpetnoi1472 yes correct. the purpose of this tutorial is just to show the modeling technique. it's not just a retainer that is missing but there are many calculations while we design the bearing are not there. Talking about the modeling approch to design inner/outer race. yes you are correct we can save our time. But also if you are that great in modeling with saving time efficiency and mofeling in faster way etc... than you should not be having any problem with modeling the retainer for it. i am surprised you written that.
Superb 👍
Thanks.
