= Run Ecopath Console Example = In this example a simple console application is examined that performs the very basic steps needed to work with the Ecopath code: loading a model, running Ecopath, running Ecosim and extracting a value from Ecosim at an arbitrary time step. It is assumed that you have access to the Ecopath source code. 1. Open Visual Studio/Visual Studio Express and open the file ''[!EcopathLocation]\Ecopath6\Sources\EwETutorials\EwEConsoleAppExample\EwEConsoleAppExample.sln'' [[Image(Opensln.png)]] 2. Run the applicaition by hitting ''F5'' or ''Debug>Start Debugging'' in the menu. One should see the following written in the console: {{{ Group 'Spring phytopla' EE estimated to 0.2006739 Press a key to exit }}} 3. To see the code, find the solution explorer on the right and browse to the file EwE7.vb as seen below. [[Image(Browse to EwE7.png)]]
