Conclusion
...
Based off these results, the center bar is viable. That being said, optimizations can could potentially be made to improve its design, specifically with the cutouts in the center bar plate. Potential next step is to add material to high-stress areas of center bar plate and redo FEAOnce the design is finalized, then the machining process can begin.
