Upon request, HTire provides another ASCII output file, containing a comprehensive set of most of the available output signals. This file, provided independently on the calling program, has the extension mtl, which reflects the file is easily loaded and analyzed in Matlab™. Moreover, FTire/tools provide an easy-to-use plot program for this file format.
