Hi Andreas - I merged a patch recently to fix the ordering: could you test a recent nightly build?
Thanks!

However, when exporting e.g. 20-node 2nd order incomplete hexahedron elements I encounter problems with node ordering. Abaqus uses a different ordering (see appended extract from the Abaqus manual) than the export file. Is there a setting by which the ordering can be adapted without scripting or reprogramming? Thank you for your support.
