If you think it's worth it, please add support for pyramid elements: https://calculix.discourse.group/t/pyramid-elements-c3d5-c3d13/1881

fgr: "I’m from another decade :grinning: Learned and wrote my first program on a teletyper terminal with paper roll, so I don’t very much about github and push request :grinning: but if anyone find my code worthy for the official calculix I will be happy just to know that other finds it usefull."

Yes please! These pyramids work far better and more conveniently than collapsed hex's. Maybe don't need the C3D13F (Felippa) formulation but the other two would be fantastic.

Yes please! Pyramid elements would greatly help with mesh transitions from hex to tet!
