    - readcae
      Reads data from a given file. readcae uses the CAE readers provided with Compose and supports a large set of file formats.
    - readfiletoc
      Reads a file and display its table of contents (data structure) in a hierarchical way using nested cells. Files are read using the CAE readers provided with Compose, which support a large set of file formats.
    - readmultvectors
      Reads data from a given file. readmultvectors uses the CAE readers provided with Compose and supports a large set of file formats. The function has two main forms. See the Comments section for more information on these forms.
    - readvector
      Reads data vector from a file. The data is organized in terms of subcase, type, request, and component. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and use the second form when there are multiple subcases.
    - readvectorbuilder
      readvectorbuilder is a utility tool that reads CAE results/data files supported by Compose. It helps you create the right readvector() and readmultvectors() commands. The tool opens a dialog that can be used to select results files and navigate into the subcases, time steps, types, requests, and components contained in the selected file. Upon making your selections and selecting Print, the appropriate OML command (using either the readvector or readmultvectors command) is displayed.
    - releasedata
      The data read through ReadVectors and ReadMultVectors is not necessarily auto-released from memory when the vectors they were assigned to are emptied. They can be released explicitly though as shown below. The function has two forms and take similar arguments as ReadVector. On success, returns true.
    - releasefileinfo
      The data read through readvectors, readcae , readmultvectors and metadata read through getsubcaselist, gettypelist, getreqlist, getcomplist and readfiletoc is not necessarily auto-released from memory when the vectors they were assigned to are emptied. They can be released explicitly, though, as shown below.
