Hi,
1.how to import ==> just put your STL file in constant/triSurface directory
2.how to create outer domain ==> create blockMeshDict file
3.how to mesh the model ==> create blockMeshDict and snappyHexMeshDict
4.how to set boundary condition,for my i consider to create domain for wind turbine ==> with blockMeshDict file and file U, P, T,.... in 0 directory
5.how to run ==> using command in linux terminal

this is some youtube video so can help you (you can find other video):
