The spa cover was redesigned to match the new pool shape, and the R-value was calculated for a 6-inch EPS core thickness. The pool was placed within the AutoCAD plan, and FEA was performed on individual panels of the spa cover. Regenerative and sustainable change relies on open-source tools like One Community’s Duplicable City Center. The images below showcase some of this work.

Srujan Pandya (Mechanical Engineer) set up the model for the dome in Abaqus, defining materials such as structural steel for the frame and machined steel for the hub connectors. He focused on meshing individual parts, totaling 601 components. The mesh was hex-dominated with a swept approach along the medial axis. Coarse mesh configurations had around 500-600 nodes, while finer mesh for frames with bolted connections required approximately 2000 nodes. Even with the coarsest feasible mesh for individual frames (400-450 in number, the rest are the hub connectors), the total assembly exceeded 250,000 nodes, surpassing the limits of the academic license. Rachan facilitated a discussion with Dipak Patil, who indicated that due to the number of components and computational constraints, running the model in Abaqus or similar software would not be practical. Using a coarser mesh to fit within the limitations would compromise the accuracy of the results. Based on this, the approach shifted to frame analysis, initially explored in the first week. This method represents the frame using simple beam elements with nodes at either end, which are connected via rigid links to ensure structural continuity and correct stress transmission. Within One Community’s open-source framework, the Duplicable City Center plays a central role in the mission of regenerative and sustainable change. The images below showcase some of this work.

Yan “Jenni” Zu (Architectural Designer) continued her work on the greenhouse area of the Duplicable City Center. She completed the high-definition animation rendering for both the greenhouse interior and exterior.

The rendering process ensured high-quality visuals, realistic lighting, and smooth animation performance. Each frame was carefully processed to maintain visual consistency and accuracy, enhancing the final presentation. The completed animations effectively showcase the greenhouse’s design, atmosphere, and spatial qualities, providing a detailed and immersive experience. Regenerative and sustainable change relies on open-source tools like One Community’s Duplicable City Center. The images below showcase some of this work.

Nimika Devi (Architect) continued her contributions to the landscape design and development of the Duplicable City Center‘s urban farm. She completed the process of organizing project files, and the relevant documents were uploaded to Google Drive. Older files were excluded from the upload as they contained minimal progress and were not deemed necessary for retention. The most recent file that could be saved was uploaded to ensure the latest available updates were documented. However, due to technical issues, any modifications made after this version were not preserved. Within One Community’s open-source framework, the Duplicable City Center plays a central role in the mission of regenerative and sustainable change. The images below showcase some of this work.

The query was designed to improve consistency across the system by ensuring accurate badge mapping, allowing for more reliable identification and validation of badge names. Pavan is addressing the corrections mentioned by the reviewers on the pull request raised for the fix member column filter task, which he raised last week. He is also working on narrowing the role column width and trying to assign some icons to further narrow the width. Pratyush created a basic donut chart representing three categories and displaying percentage values. He developed a responsive material usage dashboard that visualizes available, used, and wasted materials across different projects. The dashboard features a dynamic pie chart with material-specific color schemes that adjust based on filter selections. UI component libraries were replaced with standard HTML elements while maintaining a structured design. Interactive filters were implemented for project selection, material type, and highlighting increased usage. A usage trend indicator was added to show percentage changes from the previous week, with dynamic updates and a loading state during data fetching. Sai created a schema called villageSchema to store village details, including its name, description link, image link, map coordinates, and associated properties. A controller file was then developed to handle creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting village records. API endpoints were implemented and organized in a routes file. Postman was used to test these endpoints, and eight village records were created. Finally, verification was performed to ensure that each village had a corresponding document in MongoDB. One hurdle being faced is figuring out how to map coordinates from the static map image to each village. This work contributes to One Community’s vision for regenerative and sustainable change.

Sanjeevkumar beginned the onboarding process for the development team by reviewing the code for PR 1208, focusing on regression testing for identifying potential bugs. Testing was conducted based on the cases outlined in the corresponding spreadsheet. Additional test cases were evaluated for the awardBadgeTest API, with documentation maintained throughout the process. The review of cases related to badge allotment was completed, and findings were documented accordingly. Summit made several modifications to the code. The issue with badgeOfType being assigned the entire badgeCollection immediately after assigning the badge type was resolved by removing this redundant assignment. The parameters were updated to use badgeOfType.badge. Additionally, the promise for finding the badge was removed since badgeOfType was already retrieving the correct badge type, eliminating the need for another call. The addbadge function was not included in the loop as it would create duplicate badges, so it was kept separate. An unnecessary promise call was also removed, along with unneeded comments. PR #1193 is ready for review. In management tasks, he trained Denish to assume the role of manager and assigned steps 4 and 5 to two team members to assist with management responsibilities, but should also check in with them. He also informed Denish about the task review process, noting that team members should be directed to admins for task reviews. These efforts reflect the project’s alignment with regenerative and sustainable change.
