I agree, it would be nice if the LS-Dyna reader could parse all of the
information in the input deck, but I didn't have the time to write
something that could parse all those keywords. However, there are
manuals specifying the input deck file format here

http://www.dynamore.de/download/con_download_manuals.php?frame=ok

and specifically 

http://www.dynamore.de/download/manual/ls-dyna_970_manual_k.pdf

You might be able to use these manuals to convert the geometry into
another simple text-based format.
