Starting with a mass model of the Galaxy, we apply a scheme developed by Schwarzschild (1979) in order to determine a phase-space distribution function of stars that is characteristic of the mass model. In a first step, we limit our investigations to the solar neighbourhood, that is, among the large amount of stellar orbits required by Schwarzschild's procedure we only consider nearly circular orbits that occur in the vicinity of the Sun. Thus, it allows us to compute a rough estimation of the tilt of the velocity ellipsoid in the solar neigbourhood.
