CURVE:BICUBIC

Cubic curve with two independent variables. Input consists of the curve name, the ten coefficients, and the minimum and maximum values for each of the independent variables. Optional inputs for curve minimum and maximum may be used to limit the output of the performance curve. curve = C1 + C2*x + C3*x**2 + C4*y + C5*y**2 + C6*x*y + C7*x**3 + C8*y**3 + C9*x**2*y + C10*x*y**2
