Hi ti everyone, I've got a numerical function that I build for calculation of difference of pression in Psat curve. My function is quite long and I don't want to bore you with it, but it's depending on 6 parameters. Now I'm trying to minimize my function named effe. the result is that effe has not a numerical value, but my check with the numbers that shows is not the same. Any suggestions? NMinimize[{effe, a0 >= 499 && a0 <= 700 && a1 >= -5*10^-3 && a1 <= -2*10^-3 && a2 >= -4*10^-6 && a2 <= -10^-6 && b0 >= 2*10^-2 && b0 <= 8*10^-2 && b1 >= -5*10^-4 && b1 <= -1*10^-4 && b2 >= 5*10^-8 && b2 <= 10*10^-8}, {a0, a1, a2, b0, b1, b2}] NMinimize::nnum: The function value effe is not a number at {a0,a1,a2,b0,b1,b2} = {694.934,-0.00307734,-2.04923*10^-6,0.0758478,-0.00036913,8.10076*10^-8}. >> NumberQ[effe[ 694.934177451691`, -0.0030773406164581736`, \ -2.0492319442681097`*^-6, 0.07584781919034586`, -0.00036913014921087793`, 8.10075813567283`*^-8]] True. Thanks a lot in advance. Mary Ram
