II. OM Concepts

The Meat of the Matter

This part of the Manual is devoted to an exhaustive description of the elements of the OM environment. They are not presented in any particular order, and can get quite technical, which may cause some confusion to the neophyte. It is recommended that users who are taking their first steps with the software read the Tutorials first.
