[Mesa-users] Fwd: Problem reading file

[Swarnim Shashank]

Actually, I have been given this problem by my supervisor. He had asked me
to write a code that would communicate to MESA in such a way apart from
using the binary module provided with MESA.

I am calculating accretion rate, orbital period, luminosity of the system
and the binary separation. And I am evolving the companion using mesa star.

Thanks
