 <h2>Modal Results (.vmod)</h2>
 <p>Modal results are only created if enabled in the <a href="#main-form">Options</a> tab. One file is created for each calculation and stored in the same directory as the .vecto file.</p>
 <p>In Vecto 3 the structure of the modal data output has been revised and re-structured. Basically for every powertrain component the .vmod file contains the power at the input shaft and the individual power losses for every component. For the engine the power, torque and engine speed at the output shaft is given along with the internal power and torque used for computing the fuel consumption. See <a href="#powertrain-and-components-structure">Powertrain and Components Structure</a> for schematics how the powertrain looks like and which positions in the powertrain the values represent.</p>
-<p>Every line in the .vmod file represents the simulation interval from time - dt/2 to time + dt/2. All values represent the average power/torque/angular velocity during this simulation interval. If a certain power value can be described as function of the vehicle’s acceleration the average power is calculated by <img style="vertical-align:middle" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAR4AAAApBAMAAAAR71tEAAAAMFBMVEX///8AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAv3aB7AAAAD3RSTlMAid2ZuzKrVCJmEO9Eds0xWRQzAAAACXBIWXMAAA7EAAAOxAGVKw4bAAAE5klEQVRYCc1Xa2gcVRT+Zl/z2NmHjU2IP2yK9odFSAKi+CjsDxUiSKYKViiYRXz8qk6tmqaQOFJ8gMUMVQobmnbwT9CKuz9cS4vQiUUsRnELWgk0uPkRSn8o66vG4Ovce2dCdkgqd9sNuezee75zvnvP2TNn5swC6z7is+11aS7InX/3cU9ugxxb++53qQ3G0mNSfHmyXDyZurwHuR1y8WTzcqfLs+XiKfvyHuR2yMXT3mpmkcvF86Tcj22BLRfPJy14kNsiFY/2t9zhLbCl4lH/asGD3BYpD/GlpsONGsFMk2rTrx33W00aKWB0/rNZYkOsIchKb/8dDwAphow+NicHHbYgUYS6yKX1mMr1wMuDwCsOLlI0Hka4boaJQM6F8WdAav/yDc8F+SGXZRd1ykcNWe73AhOBIQvJP7hiPaYtrvCSpLtgyFYJ5SwoNlMOMBE4DsRPC9I6zIPMJQ29AdzrJRxgN2AWQWORicBTwExAYrDN40xwfqoAs4o0MP1TN1AB5oYrXMTHpbmbmoKIP8NGvkl3vYD2S3BSemDyvIcYoQH6NpBwU0UualKPj2uNS70SnDDuM+Ft+rJ7+zTeRarGRXYh1xq5f6/fEG6UsF1Q1dJ4gmqHrhW24xTSFhdTdWZYr5EIr8Zz3ON7gFIkqaItYkiIMV4oXbM4YvSopT4ytrN+0mG72MrjoXrOulMUT7KBb00ujttkSVjn9ZhXP2uw5LVzlHvE6Zp44mWppK0atAIqxrzORGXwWWI8gvuottyFZEHQ2zaHj+cbr7A0IGND/d6B7uLs8KMTTBTjHaqoOdiNTC1QXGVRbrmKcS3Tpj5h+cFtYmhFDhNekxbYq223u0yvkvUjBgY/i+guCUzNz+xZYVoGH6xQhmKWpwN43gk1Yn2IL683K6mEh/fg4FFMirswYj0UwUFJUvPT/BWmZfDwCmUo5jwh9YaKYD3I13si2mX40bK0thDmgTe/1WirvS+GOf4tssFkedOtiDaAqjW3uqFJq/QJyJtfk0WAZGUVZYfQaT9HbQ4ptKgywEopH7WUSs6uPkxOlJ6eetkCifvogUHN7yWHml9yH6DObsYomUFAnX3/iGXePO9iZBTT57p90p1wGBmXxcHX+vasusqEXdU+P4UxWy0YdhV7kHNY86tT85tKW9iBt5j5RQYO7XbVAhmpFZn+/q1KkXRZn5ODF1ClEf3BclhZMEytoeo9OIxM0aSnaBUzYM0vT83PH4deR24XmS8wYDMSi/cwlDc+PG06/hAyDiPzzkSuE3U5/1G21nsSVC/xPOWF7ielqDXQCdb8fOaiA2kXZYubCaCfMsPivXXkokHbQFydk3mTIpzORz1IYm0L9V3yTnkpO4j5eoFKYbn5VTHu0Pslmel6VIFPWXI6YbCrw584t0PnZFZzbIi3DCG3Ml9CGi+YGAfl5ZiJnJeq2Yuvhc1P7aELgh/JrNZ9AkQaM3HZONAgX2WPpiU8zsm5Ny1C9I+Cz61PRXyNG3QcA+Vlh44cTpz7suGGzU/JuzFLL5I5nncJUDH169iWwTao1hjzugRBLusihjtbD4Xv/GrYxc4DmGX/AKZt6Hd90Y1uP2x+yS5P6yqBzCTRJ8PJo/vx6vAEtUMae0fAycpREchJsWyQeT68zTZIPLcl7A0SiQhjJ/2z+Z/xH5EUoQb/tzTFAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" alt="P_{avg} = \frac{1}{simulation interval} \int{P(t) dt}" title="P_{avg} = \frac{1}{simulation interval} \int{P(t) dt}" />. <strong>Note:</strong> Columns for the torque converter operating point represent the torque/angular speed at the end of the simulation interval!</p>
