[mesa-users] terminate because of overflowing initial model

[Ying Qin]

Hi mesa users,

I want to computer the evolution of close Wolf-Rayet binaries(The WR companion is approximated as a point mass), including tidal angular momentum exchange, different rotation of the Wolf-Rayet star, internal magnetic fields, stellar wind mass loss, and mass transfer.

1. About the tidal angular momentum exchange, I add the following lines in inlist_project
   do_tidal_sync = .true.
   do_initial_orbit_sync_1 = .true.


2. I also added the rotation and magnetic fields in inlist1, please see them in  inlist1.


3. The mass loss of WR star is calculated according to Hamann et al. 1995 and and Hanann et al.1982.

          log(Mdot/Msun yr^-1) =  eta * (-11.95 + 1.5logL/Lsun ),  where logL/L_sun > 4.5(Hamann et al. 1995)

          log(Mdot/Msun yr^-1) =  eta * (-35.8 + 6.8logL/Lsun ),  where logL/L_sun < 4.5(Hamann et al. 1982)

I know other winds are used in mesa,  but can I bother you to tell me how to use this wind mass loss.

4. About mass transfer, I chose mdot_scheme = “Kolb” in inlist_project.

I tried to use 'Dutch wind’ , not the wind I listed above,  to run mesa, but it stopped with error:
termination code: Terminate because of overflowing initial model


In the attachment are my inlist1 and inlist_project, any comments are kindly welcome, and thank you in advance!
If possible, could you please explain them clearly, because I am learning to use mesa.

Ying
