I've been using DX with OTI*HULL - Euler and Lagrange, 2D (cylindrical and Cartesian geometries) and 3D - for more than ten years. Formatting data from other similarly constructed hydrocodes (like EPIC, CSQ, CTH and Mesa) into DX native format and putting together useful networks should not be a Herculean task. I've also done some fiddling with SPH codes. That's a more challenging problem, but it can be done.
There is an image of a shaped charge calculation in David Thompson's book "Open DX - Paths to Visualization" on page 28.
