[mesa-users] Copying a star

[Bill Paxton]

As Rob says, there isn't an existing routine to copy a star so you're looking at adding something new.  Since a photo holds everything necessary to restart a run,  you might be able to make a photo and reload it into a new star structure to create a copy.  Of course the easy solution is, as Rob mentioned, save the model and reload it twice.  But that won't give you the exact state you had previously; only a photo can do that.
