# mzn_run(+ModelFile, +InstFileOrParMap, ++SolverOrOptions)

Run a MiniZinc model from a given model and instance file

ModelFile
  File name (extension defaults to .mzn)
InstFileOrParMap
  Instance file name (extension defaults to .mzn), or list of Id=Term correspondences
SolverOrOptions
  Name of solver mapping module, or zn_options-structure

## Description

Reads a MiniZinc model (given a model file and an instance file) and interprets it using the solver mapping defined in SolverOrOptions. At the end of solving, resuls and timings are printed to the output stream. Error messages may be printed to the error stream. This predicate always succeeds.

### Modes and Determinism

- mzn_run(+, +, ++) is det

## Examples

        ?- mzn_run("mymodel.mzn", "myinstance.mzn", fzn_ic).
        Found a solution with cost 10
        Found no solution with cost 7.0 .. 9.0
        end = 10
        b1 = 1
        b2 = 0
        b3 = 1
        b4 = 0
        Objective value = 10
        Total time 0.031s cpu (0.016 setup + 0.000 search)

        ?- mzn_run("queens.mzn", [n=8], fzn_ic).
        Starting search
        q = [1,5,8,6,3,7,2,4]
        Total time 0.015s cpu (0.000 setup + 0.000 search)
