Simulation of lightning strike on a wind turbine

This is my thesis and I am trying to solve it using COMSOL 5.3. I have designed the geometry but I have faced some difficulties. First of all, I would like to have some advice about the earthing resistance. I want it to be 10 Ω do you have any ideas how to do it? Secondly, which steel alloy do you suggest for the blades and in general which material alloys do you suggest? I am using the AC/DC Module and the Electric Currents Interface. I am trying to enter the lighting equation through the Current Density node. We know from the theory that we have to imply the lightning strike to a surface 0.2x0.2 m, however I am trying to build this square on the work plane but I can't choose it as the lightning strike node. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
