Q: Can O-Matrix
run MATLAB scripts?
The O-Matrix
environment does support the execution of basic
MATLAB scripts and functions in addition to
O-Matrix scripts and functions. O-Matrix can also
run some scripts that are written completely in
the MATLAB syntax. In general, MATLAB scripts that
don’t use GUI building, plotting, or cell array
structures are compatible. A free MATLAB
Compatibility Library is available for download to
increase the compatibility with MATLAB (www.omatrix.com/omaddons.html).
Q: Can O-Matrix read
MATLAB binary data files?
O-Matrix can
read MATLAB binary data files. MATLAB IO functions
are included to load numeric MATLAB data, i.e.
MAT-Files, into O-Matrix.
Q: Is O-Matrix available for UNIX,
Linux, and Mac?
O-Matrix 6.2 is
currently only available on Windows.
Q: What toolboxes are available for
O-Matrix?
Several toolboxes are
available for O-Matrix. The Data Access Toolbox is
included with every O-Matrix license starting with
O-Matrix 6.2. The Signal Processing Toolbox and
the Time Series Analysis Toolbox are licensed
separately. There are also several free toolboxes
and utilities available for download from the web
site.
Q: How is O-Matrix
different from Tecplot Focus and Tecplot
360?
O-Matrix is a matrix-based
computing environment for analyzing data, creating
simulations, visualizing results, and building
turnkey scientific and engineering computing
solutions. The O-Matrix language includes a broad
range of mathematical, statistical, engineering,
and user-interface building functions for solving
a broad range of technical computing problems.
Tecplot Focus is XY, 2D and 3D engineering
plotting software. Tecplot is 360 is CFD
visualization software. O-Matrix 6.2 includes a
direct link to Tecplot Focus and Tecplot 360 for
enhanced plotting and visualization.
Q: What version of Tecplot does the
O-Matrix link work with?
The O-Matrix
Tecplot link is compatible with Tecplot Focus 2006
and Tecplot 360 2006.
Q:
Did Tecplot, Inc. acquire O-Matrix?
Tecplot, Inc. partnered with Harmonic Software
Inc. to be the exclusive worldwide distributor of
O-Matrix. Harmonic Software Inc maintains
ownership of O-Matrix.
Q:
How much does O-Matrix cost?
The
commercial price for an O-Matrix 6.2 single-user
perpetual license is $638. The license fee
includes 12 months of Software Maintenance Service
(SMS). You can view the complete price list at
the O-Matrix purchase page.
Q: Is there a student
version of O-Matrix?
There is currently
no student version of O-Matrix. Qualifying
teaching facilities can purchase O-Matrix 6.2 at
Tecplot’s academic prices. If you are interested
in using O-Matrix for teaching, please contact
Tecplot Sales.
Q: Why did
the price of O-Matrix go up?
O-Matrix
6.2 is a new release. It includes 12 months of
Software Maintenance Service (SMS), the Data
Access Toolbox, and the new O-Matrix Tecplot link
and plotting functions.
Q: Who do I contact for O-Matrix
technical support?
O-Matrix customers
can contact the Tecplot Technical Support team by
e-mail at support@tecplot.com
or by telephone at 425.653.9393. Questions can
also be submitted online at www.omatrix.com/techsupp.html.
Q: What is the O-Matrix
Development Kit and how is it different from
O-Matrix?
The O-Matrix Development Kit
provides an easy to use, efficient, and free
method to distribute O-Matrix applications.
Applications built with The O-Matrix Development
Kit can range from simple scripts to turnkey
systems and products. Visit www.omatrix.com/omrte.html
to learn more. The O-Matrix Development Kit is
licensed separately and requires a valid O-Matrix
license.
Q: How can
O-Matrix run so much faster than MATLAB?
O-Matrix has been built using highly optimized
C/C++, FORTRAN, and assembly code to provide
optimal execution performance. The linear algebra
routines in O-Matrix are based on the algorithms
from BLAS, LINPACK, and LAPACK to provide robust,
accurate solutions.
Q:
What is the O-Matrix Tecplot link?
The
O-Matrix Tecplot link is a set of functions
provided with O-Matrix that enables users to
create plots in Tecplot of O-Matrix results,
transfer data to and from Tecplot, and to automate
Tecplot with the O-Matrix language.
Q: How is the O-Matrix Tecplot link
implemented?
The communication of data
and commands between O-Matrix and Tecplot uses IPC
to transfer data to/from Tecplot and to transmit
commands to Tecplot. The interface is comprised of
two software components: 1) The omlink ADK Server.
This component is a Tecplot add-on which provides
server capabilities to an O-Matrix client. This
server component receives string commands from an
O-Matrix client for controlling Tecplot and
sending and receiving data. 2) O-Matrix Client
Functions. O-Matrix client functions provide new
O-Matrix language functions (both intrinsic and as
OMS scripts) for communicating with Tecplot via
the omlink server. |
