[mesa-users] using set_uniform_initial_xa_from_files

[David Trudelle]

Hi,

I’m trying to use set_uniform_initial_xa_from_files option in star job but i’m confuse and getting error.

First, here my error.  The create_pre_ms seen to be unable to open my composition file.

Here the terminal output error.

 reading composition.rtf
 unknown chem name {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1348\cocoasubrtf170
 star_uniform_xa_from_file ierr          -1
 do_star_job_controls_after ierr          -1
 before_evolve_loop ierr          -1

But my chemical name come from the output of the net in the terminal.

Second, I’m confuse about the value that I should use to specified the composition. 
Should I use the chemical fraction relative to total mass (like X, Y and Z) or should I use the Z_frac convention (relative to H=12)?  The option are unclear about this.

And here my inlist and my composition file.

Thank you

David
