[mesa-users] MESA code Questions!!

[Farag, Ebraheem Khaled]

Hello,

I am still getting :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
set_uniform_initial_composition
                                             initial_h1    7.2950000000000004D-01
                                             initial_h2   -1.0000000000000000D+00
                                            initial_he3   -1.0000000000000000D+00
                                            initial_he4    2.5700000000000001D-01
                                           metals AGS05
 when setting composition, need to provide values for h1, h2, he3, and he4
 H1=  0.72950000000000004     
 H2=  -1.0000000000000000     
 He3=  -1.0000000000000000     
 He4=  0.25700000000000001     
 Z  =   1.0000000000000000     
 set_uniform_initial_composition ierr          -1
 do_star_job_controls_after ierr          -1
 before_evolve_loop ierr          -1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I am still getting the same error.
"if set_uniform_initial_composition is true, then set hydrogen and helium mass fractions according to the following: If no h2 in current net, then this will be added to h1. If no he3 in current net, then this will be added to he4."
-http://mesa.sourceforge.net/star_job_defaults.html#extra_parameters

i have now:
----------------------------
 ! uniform initial composition of AGS05 abundances
    set_uniform_initial_composition = .true.
    initial_h1 = 0.7295
    initial_he4 = 0.25700
    initial_zfracs = 5
---------------------------------------
Any more suggestions?

thanks,
-Ebraheem

You should do as the message suggests and provide values for the h1, h2,
he3, and he4 abundances.  The default value is not a valid abundance in
order to force you to set the values yourself.
