1 Install Solver
2 Make sure the macro function can use Solver
If at any time Solver reports an error message after a macro has been run, simply uninstall the Solver Add-In from the Add-
Ins menu (found under Tools), and reinstall Solver as described under "Install Solver".
If the above has no effect on the outcome of the error message, try guessing another value for the insulation thickness. Solver
sometimes converges to different values depending on the initial starting value.
