DQ Velorum is a galactic double periodic variable (DPV), this system is a
semi-detached binary comprised of a B-type gainer and an A-type donor star plus
an extended accretion disc around the gainer. The system also presents an
orbital period of $6.08337$~days and a long period of $189$~days whose origin
is still under debate. Here we studied the possibility that this period may be
driven by a magnetic dynamo investigating the entire evolution of the system.
The model matches in a very good way the current state of the system and it can
potentially be used to describe the evolution of DQ Velorum. It also predicts
an increase of the dynamo number of the donor during epochs of high mass
transfer in this system, and a theoretical long/orbital period ratio very close
to the observed one at the present system age.
