translate abaqus keyword input files to ls-dyna keyword input files

abaqus2dyna

abaqus2dyna is a script to convert, in a limited fashion, Abaqus keyword input files to LS-DYNA keyword input files. It is currently very limited. See example.inp for an example Abaqus file that can be converted.

Note: test coverage is virtually nil, and the code is likely difficult to follow. I may try to improve it, but feel free to modify and make a pull request. As of October 2018, I have at least set up some very basic tests, but manually testing is still required until I enhance the test suite.
