What is an OTWU file? An OTWU file is a workbook template created by Origin 2018 and later, a data analysis and graphing application used by scientists and engineers in various fields. It contains the layout settings for one or more worksheets, which include the number of rows and columns, added notations, and theme. OTWU files are used to create .OGWU workbooks.
