I've been working on writing an LS-Dyna input deck from our meshing 
code.  As far as I can tell from the documents, they only support a 
limited set of solid element types (Tet with 4 nodes and Tet with 10 
nodes (so both linear and quadratic), Hex with 8 nodes (linear only), 
and a Wedge with 6 nodes (i.e. extrude a triangle, linear only).
