Dravis is correct.
Unless this is a technical exercise, you may well find it cheaper and easier to buy an off the shelf attenuator pre-made either from honeycomb or foam to meet the FS technical regulations.
Another important factor in attenuator design is initial peak loadings. You will find most honeycomb attenuators are made from a "pre-crushed" honeycomb to elimate the initial peak loading. It then crushes in a linear and predictable way and is hence relatively easy to calculate with.
