Harshada Memane (Mechanical Engineer) continued developing the City Center Eco-spa Designs, reviewing the Waterfall Plumbing Calculation, Water Head Loss, Bill of Materials, Structural FEA Tables, and Access Panel FEA Tables tabs of the Hot Tub Design Calculations spreadsheet, as part of the FEA Validation and Calculation Review task. Formulas were checked against reported outputs across all five tabs, including flow velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, and total dynamic head on the plumbing and head loss calculations, quantity and cost line items on the Bill of Materials, and stress and displacement results on the FEA tables. On the Bill of Materials tab, two line items, a pipe and a concrete base, were found to list the same value for unit cost and total cost regardless of quantity, indicating the unit cost figure was actually a bulk total rather than a true per-unit rate. On the Structural FEA Tables tab, two separate entries labeled “Bolt Pretension FEA” were found with different maximum stress values, 366 MPa and 372 MPa, with no indication of which one is authoritative. The Access Panel FEA Tables tab was checked against an earlier report comment and confirmed the source of a 250 pound stepping load figure through direct calculation. The Water Head Loss and Waterfall Plumbing Calculation tabs were verified in full, with no discrepancies found requiring comment. One comment was posted on the Bill of Materials tab and one on the Structural FEA Tables tab. This open source Duplicable City Center project contributed in developing a global sustainability plan. The collage below offers a closer look at this work.

He built the “Review for This Week” grouping, filtering the reviewer table into three Owner-configurable groups determined automatically from an alphabetical range rather than a stored list. He rebuilt the Weekly Requirements and Remaining Weeks columns after finding they measured something different from Required PRs, fixing three related issues — including one that would have offered 46 unreviewed accounts for promotion, furthering One Community’s mission of creating a sustainable luxury living experience. Sita Ram also completed Process Promotions, placing newly promoted reviewers onto matching teams; after finding the required placement data didn’t exist across 1,112 teams, he built it, plus a preview step before placements take effect. Finally, he added a History column for past PR counts and a review-rating column, writing 145 tests and verifying against real data. See the collage below for highlights of this week’s work.
