gentle folk.

i am having some trouble with the LSDyna reader in both VTK and ParaView 3.
well not exactly trouble; but for SOLID elements the Effective Plastic strain
variable that the
LSDyna documentation says is ALWAYS written out for the SOLID elements is not
read.
there's accounting for it in the computation of state size [NUMVD3 is 7  (six
for 'stress' and EPS)]; but no code is given to add the array, etc.  
the documentaion i'm looking at is data 1994 revised May 2002, if that helps.

i've tried adding a cell array etc in the appropriate spots (where i see the
'stress' array added) etc ; but i must be missing something because i can't
get it to work correctly.

looking for either guidance on what to do or a fix to the LSDyna reader in
the CVS.

thanks.
