Abstract
We have classified orbits in a stationary triaxial stellar system created from a cold dissipationless collapse of 100000 particles In order to integrate the orbits two potential approximations with different fitting functions were used in turn We found that the relative amount of chaotic versus regular orbits does depend on the chosen approximation of potential even though both models resulted in very good fits of the underlying exact potential On the other hand the content of regular orbits ie its distribution among main families does not strongly depend of the potential approximation being therefore a more robust signature of the gravitational system under study
