Integrating With ODTK

In addition to the ODTK application GUI, you can interact with ODTK by:

  • Using scripts and compiled code through the COM inteface to drive the ODTK engine (Windows only)
  • Using APIs to drive the ODTK engine (Windows and Linux)
  • Using plugins to provide your specific inputs and analysis calculations to ODTK

A typical use case for controlling ODTK from the outside world is to automate some analysis or standard operations process.
