CST - Nastran mesh import

Hi, I read in the CST help section under topic "3D Mesh (Imported)", that only a triangle surface mesh can be imported into a time domain simulation. Why is that? I thought that I had to use Hexahedral mesh in a time domain simulation. So it doesn't make sense to import a triangle surface mesh...? 

Best regards, David
