Files

This section describes files that can be manipulated by the OpenMatrix Language.

OML uses .oml files to store scripts and functions as a collection of OML statements. OML can read or write data from/to external files using commands acting on external files.

I/O and File Operations

The OpenMatrix language includes a variety of functions to operate on files.

I/O and File Operations functions can act on pure ASCII files or on binary files. They can also be used to either read or write files.

  • Binary files
  • ABF (Altair Binary Format) files
  • CAE files from Altair solvers and other vendors
  • Excel-compatible files
