Type
The DVU dialogue box opens with the sheet 'Type'. The name of the DVU appears in the top left of the window. Below this there is a button, which can be used to deactivate the output of the calculation results for the vehicle in the simulation. You can select between a numbers of synthetic vehicle types in the vehicle record or you create a very detailed, so-called real vehicle.
If you select a real vehicle the simple type description is deactivated. The sheets of the components like chassis and engine are active.
