An Abaqus input deck reader was started by someone in my group. He posted it to the list without really cleaning up the docs, or implementing all the element types vtk has. You can find it by searching for vtkAbaqusInputDeckReader. You also need the vtkAbaqusElementModel, which I would like to replace with vtkHierarchicalDataSet, but I have not had the time. Also on my plate is an .odb Reader for vtk, using the Abaqus libraries, which I have not started. If you have any questions about the vtkAbaqusInputDeckReader I'll do my best to answer them.
