# 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.
