In order to extract the basic stellar parameters we use the asteroseismic inversion method where the observed oscillation frequencies are used to estimate the stellar parameters. The inversion is a process where the best estimated parameters for a given star correspond to the input parameters for the model that shows frequencies most similar to the observed ones. We have computed a wide grid of stellar models and their associated oscillation frequencies and we have designed a tool to evaluate the value of χ^{2} on that grid for different possible sets of observational data. Stellar models have been calculated with the CESAM stellar evolution code for values of mass in the range 0.8 - 4.0 solar masses, initial metalicity Z in mass fraction in the range 0.006 - 0.04 and initial helium abundance in the range 0.26 - 0.28, and we considered different values or options for the input physics of the models (microscopic diffusion, mixing - length parameter of convection, overshooting). The oscillation frequencies have been computed with the LNAWENR non-adiabatic code for modes of degree l=0, 1, 2, 3.
