Otherwise, it spends forever in the prep stage for the calculation. I have played around with defining a delayed Inverse etc but nothing worked, so I gave up and coded up a simple RK4 routine and forgot about it, but now I am returning to this problem and would like to get Mathematica to work, which I think it should be able to. Thoughts? Thanks,Vadim
