Abstract

The article deals with the creation of 3D model of slewing bearing with the support of the 3D modeling software Creo Parametric 3.0 and with support of Apex Grizzly 16, that is especially suited for creation of a high-quality mesh on a variety of 2D or 3D models. The basic task will be, to define specific type of slewing bearing and find out the basic parameters, like ball diameter, diameter of inner and outer race, and pitch diameter of rolling tracks that are necessary for its construction. After we create suitable 3D model of slewing bearing, we need to divide the base model of ball into the several parts that will allow us to create a quality and uniform finite element mesh on the entire volume of the meshed part. After transforming the model into the program Apex Grizzly, we can create basic mesh and find optimal mesh values for each element of divided bearing separately.
