[mesa-users] create He stars by create_zams

[Ying Qin]

Hi there,

By default, we can evolve a helium star directly by calling a model zams_z2m2_y98.data , which can create a mass range from 3.25 - 18.25 Msun.
However, I am trying to create a much larger mass range of helium star by using create_zams. Unfortunately, mesa can only create
the mass range of  ~3 - ~20Msun, and it failed due to ’stopping because of convergence problems — too many retries’.
Could any users have this similar problem or help me out ? Any comments are welcome, thank you in advance.

BTW, I am using mesa-r8118 with the latest mesasdk. Inlist and the unsuccessful z2m2_y98.data are attached below.

Cheers,
Ying
