2013 FSAETM STRUCTURAL EQUIVALENCY SPREADSHEET (SES) V1.0 - COVER SHEET
This form must be completed and submitted by all teams no later than the date specified in the Action Deadlines
on specific event website. The FSAE Technical Committee will review all submissions which deviate from the
FSAETM rules and reply with a decision about the requested deviation. All requests will have a confirmation of receipt
sent to the team. Structural Equivalency Spreadsheets (SES) must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Excel
Format (*.xls). The submissions must be named as follows: schoolname_ses.xls using the complete school name.
Please submit to the person indicated in the Action Deadlines for each event.
In the event that the FSAE Technical Committee requests additional information or calculations, teams have one
week from the date of request to submit the requested information.

2013 FSAETM STRUCTURAL EQUIVALENCY SPREADSHEET - CHASSIS PICTURES
Please attach pictures of the frame and/or monocoque in the table below for review during the SES process. Please
colour code all tubes to show outer diameter and wall thickness. Three view drawings and isometric views of the
structure (CAD, FEA models, etc) are acceptable. Note: The final decision about all designs will be made at technical
inspection. Approval of an SES does not guarantee passing Technical Inspection.
Images must include dimensions/labels indicating the following:
Angle of main and front hoops
Angle of main hoop bracing
Distance from top of main hoop to main hoop brace attachment
Distance from top of front hoop to front hoop brace attachment
Outer diameter and wall thickness of all tubes
Teams entering cars with EV Powertrains must show the location of all HV components in these images
