Radioss dynamic structural analysis software became open source. This is a program similar to Ls-Dyna explicite FEM software. They recently released a converter for converting output files to vtk.

Can the outputs of this software be opened directly by paraview?

Someone who knows the format would have to add a reader for it, in any case, it seems like there is a convertor to .vtk format that you can use for now.
