Numerically solve the field equations? The field equations give different differential equations for different metrics. So, I guess you need a program that given a metric will give you the ODEs that govern the evolution of the metric components etc. Then you can use Mathematica's DSolve or NDsolve to solve these equations analytically (if you are lucky) or numerically respectively. One such package is RGTC. To download it and see a complete list of its features, have a look at: http://www.inp.demokritos.gr/~sbonano/RGTC/ Cheers, psycho_dad
