TEC_IO
Read and Write TEC Files


TEC_IO is a MATLAB library which can read or write a TEC graphics file containing a finite element model.

There are several kinds of TEC files; the routines given here can only handle the case where a single ZONE record is used to define finite element data, using a DATAPACKING value of "POINT" (not "BLOCK"), and a ZONETYPE of

The data to be written or read is assumed to have a logical organization into three groups:

The TECPLOT home page contains a description of the TECPLOT program.
