# Running a 2D model in TRIK Studio from PyCharm

{% hint style="info" %}
This article is automatically translated from Russian by Google Translator.
{% endhint %}

This article deals with setting up and using the external programming environment **PyCharm** to call programs in the [2D model ](/en/studio/2d-model.md)of TRIK Studio.

This will allow experienced TRIK Studio users to use all the features of professional text editors and their plugins: static analyzers, auto formatters, color themes.

It also tells how to automatically run the program on several fields, which can be useful for participants of competitions with automated checking systems.

## **Preparation**

It is assumed that the user is writing a program in an external editor and would like to run this program on one or more fields. Fields can be presented both in the `.xml` format (more details in the article "[2D model tuning](/en/studio/2d-model/settings.md)"), and in the`.qrs` format.

1. Download [run\_2d\_model.cmd](https://gist.github.com/anastasiia-kornilova/2b955e62c3cef7a509fc043a189ea3ff) file for Windows or  [run\_2d\_model.sh](https://gist.github.com/anastasiia-kornilova/f13a708562debabeeb126381f3d535e5) for Linux and place it in the folder where TRIK Studio is installed.
2. Place the fields on which you want to test the program in a separate folder. If the fields are in `.xml` format, create an empty `default.qrs` project in this folder.

4\.  In the `Name` field, enter the desired name of the tool, for example, `«run_2d_model»`. In the `Program` field, type your path to the file `run_2d_model.cmd`. In the `Arguments` type the parameters `$FileDir$` and `$FileName$` or choose`Insert Macros` and select the desired parameters from the list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.trikset.com/en/integrations/pycharm/running-2d-model-in-trik-studio-from-pycharm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
