You can either make your stl part of a SDF (Gazebo) model or of a URDF model. The first method is fully independent of ROS and described here on gazebosim.org.
An example for spawning a stl via a URDF model is here. The urdf folder contains the model (which is referencing a stl file in the Media folder) and the launch folder contains launch files for spawning the model into a Gazebo scene.

Open the file in SolidWorks and export to URDF using this plug-in. This URDF file can be read in Gazebo. You can find the details and procedure in following links Solidworks teacher blog, Design for gazebo, Willow Garage.
