Import - Shell

File → Import → Shell    Shared Dialog Box
Imports shell geometry to enhance animations.
 
Note:  
In Adams PostProcessor, you can specify whether or not you want Adams PostProcessor to import triangular geometry into trimesh strips when you import CAD geometry. Trimesh strips display significantly faster than individual polygons, resulting in faster animations. Adams PostProcessor automatically imports shell files (.shl , .slp, and .stl) as trimesh strips. For more information, see PPT Preferences - Geometry.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
File Name
Enter the name of the file that you want to import.
Shell Name
Enter the name with which you want to associate the imported shell geometry.
Reference Marker
Enter the name of the marker to which the shell is paired. During animations, the shell geometry moves with the marker.
Wireframe Only
Selecting this will import the shell geometry as wireframe and, thus, the geometry will never be able to shaded in Adams View. Only vertices and lines will be shown regardless of the Adams View session's render mode setting. No shaded surfaces will appear.
