Using Tecplot with O-Matrix
Description
The following functions enable O-Matrix to transfer data and results to and from Tecplot . O-Matrix can create, read, and manipulate Tecplot data. Functions are provided to create Tecplot graphs of O-Matrix

Installation
Use of these functions require that a current version of Tecplot Focus or Tecplot 360 and O-Matrix be installed on your system. After Tecplot and O-Matrix have been installed copy the file omlink.dll from the tecplot directory of your O-Matrix installation, (e.g. C:\OMWIN\TECPLOT) to the bin directory of your Tecplot installation. Add the following line to the tecplot.add file in your Tecplot home directory.
    $!Loadaddon "omlink"
