+Running molecular dynamics with ASE
+===================================
+
+This tutorial demonstrates how to use an already trained and exported model to run an
+ASE simulation of a single ethanol molecule in vacuum. We use a model that was trained
+using the :ref:`architecture-soap-bpnn` architecture on 100 ethanol structures
+containing energies and forces. You can obtain the :download:`dataset file
+<../../../static/ethanol/ethanol_reduced_100.xyz>` used in this example from our
+website. The dataset is a subset of the `rMD17 dataset
+<https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2632-2153/abba6f/meta>`_.
+
+The model was trained using the following training options.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../static/ethanol/options.yaml
+   :language: yaml
+
+You can train and export the model yourself using the following commands
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../../../examples/ase/train_export.sh
+   :language: bash
+
+A detailed step-by-step introduction on how to train and export a model is provided in
+the :ref:`label_basic_usage` tutorial.
