All variables have values between 0 and 2. Much to my surprise, an error occurs : "Result is above max.allowed positive number" I also sent a mail with attached file to support@smath.info P.S. : I already noted that by applying the "round" function to certain variables within the sheet, the problem disappears. Is this a viable work-around? Kind regards, Roger Verhasselt Belgium

It seems that almost everything goes trough the symbolic SMath processor first ( we do not know what is "under the hood" ). If the numerical calculation does not go as expected one could try to change "Optimization" options of the problematic region, to use eval() function or some other function which returns numerical results (like round()). It might help some times. Regards, Radovan
