OK, confusion is perfect now.
Yes, you used Theta1 and Theta3 to calculate the initial value for Sun and Stars. The iteration process itself uses only Theta2 for all three.
From what you write it seems as the two variations I had provided will both do the job, right?
Nevertheless find a third variant attached which makes more compact use of the vectors and matrices, letting them start with 0 rather than with 1.
I don't see the sense of using text boxes instead of simple assigments for your values of theta1..3, but as the name implies, a text box returns a text, not a number. If you want to calculate with the input, you have to convert the string to a number, either your component script will have to do it or you can let Mathcad do the work using the function str2num().
Is it on purpose you declare yout thetas as vector elements? At least you have used the vector index in place of the literal index, but you haven't uses theta as a vector in your sheet.
The rest of your sun moon and stars story is unclear to me - you don't provide values (PL1,...) and so your calculations fails.
Obviously you are in need for some kind of iteration process, but what should the outcome be? The last step of the iteration or all 10 of them?
See if this is near to what you are after:
Here's an additional version using a small program which you can use for all three - Sun Moon and Stars.
