Software and documentation

The Core of the Population247 project is the SurfaceBuilder247 program.  Here you will find a downloadable executable and the SurfaceBuilder247 user guide, which includes detailed descriptions of the input file formats that are to be used when assembling a Population247 model. SurfaceBuilder247 should run on any modern Windows PC and does not require installation.  However, it does require an appropriate folder structure to contain the necessary input and output files.  Setup of the input data files is generally the most time-consuming aspect of any Population247 modelling project and requires careful thought.  Please therefore be sure to read the user guide (and our key paper, at least) before attempting to use the software.
