2013 Cost Report

[Siv]

Hello Everyone,

On the cost report we are having trouble understanding the subtotal equation for materials. We are getting odd numbers and not understanding the reasoning behind it. Also we were wondering what should be stated for suffix. Have any of you run into this situation?

Thank you

[Andreas R]

The suffix ist explained in the Appendix S-2 number 1.6
It´s only for team use to show that you have edited a part.

Hi there,

does anyone know if there will be an updated Appendix S-3 vor e-Cars?

[Fikri Aulia]

AndreasK,

Maybe you can ask directly to the commite via mail

Hi Fikri Aulia,

I allready did, but no answer so far. I've asked the german rules committee since we are only starting in fse.

I'll post there answer as soon as I get one.

Hello everybody,

I've got a question about the new rule (FSAE S4.5)"Public Cost Report":
It is published that technical drawings won't be released. But how do we have to integrate the drawings/pictures in the e-version, so that non-releasing is secured?
> table-picture-table-picture
or
> all tables - all drawings (separated and linked)

Thanks a lot

John,

I do not believe you are required to include technical drawings in the cost report. If you do choose to include them and really do not want your drawings released, I would suggest including them as an appendix so they are easy to remove.

A couple other things: 1) I am not affiliated with the rules commitee, so the above statements are speculative at best. 2) I do not think anyone will want to rip off your designs, and feel like this attitude detracts from the competition as a whole.

John,

i think you can add the drawing at "file link" above the table, so the drawing included in excel

another question about the cost report:
in the FSAE Rules it says that all machined parts need a "Machining Setup, Install & Remove" operation. Does this only concern the Process "Machining" or also other processes where machines are used? For example Laser cutting
