  That isn't really how this works. What have you tried? What exactly are you confused about? Where exactly are you stuck? Can you post an MCVE showing what you've got so far?

  It's hard to answer general "how do I do this" type questions other than by pointing you to google.

  i heard that we can use processing.opengl so is that possible from opengl to show any stl file

  I just googled "processing import stl".

  Here is the first result: http://blog.lewissykes.info/importing-3d-models-into-processing/

  The second: http://forum.processing.org/one/topic/importing-stl-file-into-processing-gui-using-the-new-modelbuilder-library.html

  The third: http://forum.processing.org/one/topic/import-stl-objects-to-wetrianglemesh-for-unpacking.html

  The fourth: https://github.com/technicolorenvy/Processing-Libraries/blob/master/toxiclibscore/examples/mesh/STLImportTest/STLImportTest.pde

  Please try something and post code when you get stuck.

  "these are too complicated"
  Yes, writing programs isn't simple. If you want something working at the push of a button, you should try softwares for visualizing 3D models.

  Thank you @KevinWorkman I checked last link and it is working

  import toxi.geom.*;
  import toxi.geom.mesh.*;
  
  import toxi.processing.*;
  
  TriangleMesh mesh;
  ToxiclibsSupport gfx;
  
  void setup() {
    size(600,600,P3D);
    mesh=(TriangleMesh)new STLReader().loadBinary(sketchPath("check.stl"),STLReader.TRIANGLEMESH);
    //mesh=(TriangleMesh)new STLReader().loadBinary(sketchPath("mesh-flipped.stl"),STLReader.TRIANGLEMESH).flipYAxis();
    gfx=new ToxiclibsSupport(this);
  }
  
  void draw() {
    background(51);
    lights();
    translate(width/2,height/2,0);
    rotateX(mouseY*0.01);
    rotateY(mouseX*0.01);
    gfx.origin(new Vec3D(),200);
    noStroke();
    gfx.mesh(mesh,false,10);
  }
