A 3D steady state stellar dynamical model for the Galactic bar is constructed
with 485 orbit building blocks using an extension of Schwarzschild technique.
The weights of the orbits are assigned using non-negative least square method.
The model fits the density profile of the COBE light distribution, the observed
solid body stellar rotation curve, the fall-off of minor axis velocity
dispersion and the velocity ellipsoid at Baade's window. We show that the model
is stable. Maps and tables of observable velocity moments are made for easy
comparisons with observation. The model can also be used to set up equilibrium
initial conditions for N-body simulations to study stability. The technique
used here can be applied to interpret high quality velocity data of external
bulges/bars and galactic nuclei.Comment: submitted to MNRAS; 37 page AAS latex file with 2 tables and no
