contacts between .stl imported geometries

I need to simulate multiple contacts between complex geometries.
For this, I cannot use the more recommended approach of creating native contact geometries within ADAMS itself.

If I have to give contact between imported geometries (from Creo), which is the best format of import?

Normally I would think of parasolid, but the wireframe view shows the solids as rough and coarse.

I was thinking of importing in .stl format (which would get converted to .shl shell geometries in ADAMS).

Does anyone have any experience with this? or any recommendations for me?
 
ok Thank you Greg. I will try that.
