Despite some papers on the subject by VTK developers, I don't know of any available software for high order elements. I created my own format (this is absurd, I know) and wrote a VisIt plugin that just breaks the high order stuff (e.g. quintics) into first order elements. Paul Fischer has the same for Nek.
