[Mesa-users] Fwd: Problem reading file

[Francis Timmes]

@swarnim - your strategy is not the way mass loss should be implemented. best practice is ti put your calculation for the mass loss rate in a run_star_extras. 

i’m boarding a plane so maybe a mesa blackbelt will pick this thread up.

What I want to do is at after few steps stop MESA and provide MESA values such as mass loss rate. And then resume MESA again to evolve the companion. I thought of doing it by stopping MESA with max_model_number, run the binary code then make MESA read a new (greater) max_model_number (through a file) and resume MESA using ./re. I would provide value for max_model_number and run ./re through a driver code so that I wouldn't have to do it again and again.
