Dave, The problem is that Math.exp expects a numeric type of double, but somehow the IDV/Jython is providing a float (I guess). I have been trying for the last hour to try to convert 17.67*t/(t+243.5) calculation to a double but I am unable to. You may wish to ask address@hidden because I am out of ideas.
