Calculation of 10 height values of physical blocks

[SteveC]

I did not know exactly how to word a short subject that would give a good idea of how to describe what it is I am having trouble with.
Sorry if it is vague and seems misleading.

Here is my problem. I have 6 modules that have 2 connectors each. These modules are electronic in nature however what I am asking isn't about their function but about how to properly determine height with respect to the connectors.

Each module is directly coupled so they lay out in a row M1...... M6.
There are 12 connectors and the two outermost connectors connect to a flexible cable and do not need to be considered. These are M1 and M6. This gives me 10 height values I have to work with. I have labeled from left to right each measurement from A to J. Also the values from the innermost modules M2 to M5 vary and if you increase the height of one of these for one side to match an adjacent module's side then you affect the other side as the 2 values are affected. For example: if you raise M2 to mach M2 "B" value to M1's "A" value then M2's "C" value raises up as well.
We use shims to adjust heights and the range is: .002, .003, .004, .005, .006, .008, .010 measured in thousands of an inch.
The height cannot exceed .020 and the lowest range required for a shim is .002, less a shim is not required.
Here are some values measured from the actual modules for reference:
A=0.3440
B=0.3575
C=0.3535
D=0.3480
E=0.3430
F=0.3510
G=0.3495
H=0.3460
I=0.3480
J=0.3570

I have tired several ideas and none seem to work and the alternative is to use a huge list of 729 possible combination with several more beyond that.
If anyone has any ideas or could point me in the right direction that would be a great help.
Thanks to anyone for help to this problem.

I did not know exactly how to word a short subject ... Then make it a long subject; excess words are better than not enough.

... Here is my problem. I have 6 modules that have 2 connectors each. This is your problem?

... I am asking ... about ... how to properly determine height with respect to the connectors. The height of what?

... Each module ... I'm still not sure what these are; does that matter?

... lay out in a row M1 [to] M6. These six objects are all flush on the same flat surface?

... the two outermost connectors ... These are M1 and M6. Huh? Are M1 and M6 modules or connectors?

... This gives me 10 height values I do not see how; height of what, exactly?

... I have labeled from left to right each measurement Measurement of what, exactly?

... the values from the innermost modules M2 to M5 vary The values of what, exactly?

... adjacent module's side Huh? Which side? Top? Bottom? I still do not know the shape of these objects.

... then you affect the other side The other side of what, exactly?

... as the 2 values Values of what, exactly?

... if you raise M2 to mach M2 "B" value to M1's "A" value then M2's "C" value raises up as well. :roll:

I'm giving up, now.

I would suggest that you (1) stop using so many unreferenced pronouns, (2) define all of your "terms" at the very beginning, and (3) upload diagrams.

Agree Mr Noe; I get a headache just reading the problem :shock:
