C.1 MathCAD Solution Using Optimization<br />

MathCAD <strong>of</strong>fers a variety <strong>of</strong> tools for numerical analysis, one <strong>of</strong> them being the<br />

optimization comm<strong>and</strong>s. Following the method a single objective function <strong>of</strong> single or more<br />

variables is given <strong>and</strong> the values <strong>of</strong> variables to make the function minimum is found with a<br />

desired precision. The objective function in our case is assembled in the following way:<br />

1) Transform the functions given in (4.4) as: gn = | fn - cn | = 0<br />

2) Objective function is defined as fobjective= ∑ g n = 0<br />

n=<br />

The last step is to give the initial conditions <strong>and</strong> the constraints for the solver. In the<br />

following pages, the actual MathCAD sheet is shown.<br />
