[mesa-users] A control like delta_lgTeff_limit for seismic values

[Robert Farmer]

Hi
There doesn't appear to be any so you'll need to make one yourself in
run_star_extras. Here is a copy of something i sent previously to the list
for constraining the timestep based on radius changes:

(Untested)

In extras_startup:
!Initialize the varaible
s%xtra1=0.d0

extras_finish_step:
!Set this to the current value after a step
s%xtra1=s%log_R

extras_check_model:

!Check if the current value vs the previous value differ by some amount
if( abs( 10**s%xtra1 - 10**s%log_R) > EPS) then
    extras_check_model = retry
    s% dt = s%dt * SOME_SCALE_FACTOR
end if

This will save the stars radius in s%xtra1, then in the next step we can
compare the current value with the last value. Then at the end of this step
we will save the new radius in xtra1 again.

Also from pablo's suggestion, if you only want the next step to be smaller,
rather than forcing a retry, replace the if statement with this one.

if( abs( 10**s%xtra1 - 10**s%log_R) > EPS) then
    s% dt_next = min(s% dt_next, s%dt * SOME_SCALE_FACTOR)
end if

Let me know if that helps
