%% TEC_READ reads finite element data from a TEC file.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This program reads a TEC file containing finite element data,
%    and writes that data out to three files that constitute an FEM model,
%    that is,
%    * a file of node coordinates;
%    * a file of elements defined by the nodes that form them;
%    * a file of node data.

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, character TEC_FILE_NAME(*), the name of the TEC file.
%
%    Output, integer DIM_NUM, the spatial dimension, inferred from the
%    names of the variables.
%
%    Output, integer NODE_NUM, the number of nodes, determined by the 
%    "N=" argument.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_NUM, the number of elements, inferred from the
%    "E=" argument.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_ORDER, the order of the elements, inferred from
%    the "ZONETYPE=" argument.
%
%    Output, integer NODE_DATA_NUM, the number of data items per node,
%    inferred from the the number of node data items, minus those which are
%    inferred to be spatial coordinates.
%
%    Output, real NODE_COORD(DIM_NUM,NODE_NUM), the coordinates of nodes.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_NODE(ELEMENT_ORDER,ELEMENT_NUM); 
%    the global index of local node I in element J.
%
%    Output, real NODE_DATA(NODE_DATA_NUM,NODE_NUM), the data values associated
%    with each node.
