[vtkusers] LS-Dyna

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Rupert,

	What is your timeline for this project ? Currently the VTK API is not 
ready for dealing with non-linear cells (mesh). What type of structures 
are you looking to visualize ?

	We are about to release a new API in VTK for binding to third package 
library (mid-august worse case). So in your case you could link to ANSYS 
/ LS-Dyna to keep your non-linear mesh.

How does this sound ?
