We have been conducting N-body simulations of a massive, eccentric disk orbiting a central black hole. Our objectives are to find stronger tests of Tremaine's eccentric disk model and to tighten the constraints on the mass of the nuclear black hole. We report on the progress of these models and our efforts to compare to STIS observations of the line of sight velocity distributions and velocity dispersion profiles for M31.
