Build and mesh a half symmetry solid model of the solid bearing shown in Fig. 1. Use (100) both free meshing and sweep meshing techniques. Dimensions of the bearing are to be taken suitably. The bearing is be fixed and applied with the load due to rotation of the shaft and the self weight acting on the bearing. Take suitable loads and analyze the bearing based on its strength. Bearing material properties are to be suitably selected.

Marks are to be considered based on proper material selection, application by selecting proper load conditions.
