Generating quadratic tetrahedral (tet10) meshes from .stl surface models

Hi iMechanica-experts,
I'm working with soft tissue models of abdominal organs (e.g. liver) for surgery simulation. These models are alway constructed from segmented surface files (triangles, e.g. .stl). I'm devloping an algorithm that uses isometric quadratic tetrahedral (tet10) elements (mainly in order to reduce volume locking). Now I'd like to generate a tet10 mesh from the surface mesh.
