[mesa-users] Large network test case

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the initial model for all the test cases 
using the large mesa_*.net network 
($MESA_DIR/star/test_suite/*_big_net). How where the initial model 
computed? Where they computed from ZAMS using the large network, or 
where they computed until some point with a small network and then the 
network was changed? And if it was changed, how did this happen?

I am trying to understand what is the best way to change nuclear 
network, to avoid running in problems because of the initialization of 
the abundances of the new isotope introduces (especially if there are a 
lot of new isotopes.)

Thanks!

Mathieu
