Kaartick Tamilarasan (Mechanical Engineer) continued working on the Duplicable City Center design. He focused on the spa design document and provided comments and suggested changes through highlights in the shared document. He also performed a preliminary structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the spa cover design using Autodesk Inventor Nastran to evaluate structural performance under operational loading conditions. The cover was modeled as a single solid flat panel measuring 127.63 inches by 103.63 inches by 6 inches, constructed from rigid polyurethane foam with a Young’s Modulus of 400 psi, Poisson’s Ratio of 0.25, and a compressive strength of 30 psi. The model applied simply supported boundary conditions along all four perimeter edges, constraining vertical translation while allowing rotation at the supports. This work project plays a key role in a complete sustainability strategy.

Three load subcases were evaluated: self-weight only using a gravitational acceleration of 386.4 in/s², self-weight combined with a uniform snow pressure of 0.139 psi, and a combined case including self-weight, snow pressure, and a 250 lb human point load over a 4 inch by 8 inch contact area at the center of the panel. The analysis returned maximum Von Mises stresses of 3,550 psi, 3,733 psi, and 3,737 psi for the three subcases, with peak values occurring as localized concentrations at the perimeter support edges due to stress singularities associated with tetrahedral solid element modeling. Maximum deformations of 163.872 inches and 172.572 inches were recorded for the self-weight and combined loading subcases, indicating that the rigid polyurethane foam panel lacks sufficient bending stiffness to span the full opening. Discover One Community’s open source Duplicable City Center, which is creating a complete sustainability strategy.
