[mesa-users] 15Msun MESA explosion

[Manos Chatzopoulos]

Dear MESA community,

I downloaded the inlists corresponding to Section 6 of the instrument 
paper (on the 15Msun explosion) and run them with the latest
version of MESA (7624). The only thing I changed in the inlist was the 
nuclear reaction network to approx21_cr60_plus_co56.net in order
to get a faster run and turned the Ledoux criterion to "false" 
(experimentally). The calculation run up to step number 3848
and then terminated with the message "fe_core_infall_limit" , "stop 
because fe_core_infall > fe_core_infall_limit". Shouldn't with the new
MESA Hydro mode be advanced past that phase and toward SN shock 
propagation after collapse? Am I missing something? Again the inlists
are exactly the same minus the reaction network and the convection 
criterion (that I think for this experimental run shouldn't matter in
terms of switching to hydro).

Thanks!

Manos
