My calculations for the 1-D example appear to match the data from Table 2 using the error term from Figure 2b. I must have an error in my calculations for the Circular Fin Model as i don't have good correlation between the data from Table 2 and the error term from Figure 2B for this model. I'd like to be able to duplicate these results before apply this approach other examples. Are there any excel files or calculations that can be downloaded that go with this article? Thanks for the help. Brett I’ve been working through these three examples in excel. My calculations for the 1-D example appear to match the data from Table 2 using the error term from Figure 2b.
