A different model engine could be selected from model engine list if available. To add a model engine, copy the executable file to swat_exes folder located in installation folder. The default model engine is SWAT v627. Note that this is not the original model engine that would generate output files. It has been modified to generate results in database.
When the model starts to run, information would be shown in the text box in the main view to tell the progress.
