 A method to calculate the model potential for atoms and ions from the numerical potential has been developed. The method consists of the numerical calculation of the self-consistent-field potential taking into account all the electrons and the least-squares fitting of the numerical potential to an the appropriate analytical function. The sample calculations are performed in the case of neutral atoms and ions for the Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) potential. The results are tested by comparing energy eigenvalues and radiative transition probabilities with those obtained by the HFS potential.
