[Mesa-users] Electron Pressure of a Cell

Hi Arman,

Your best bet is probably to call the HELM EOS directly.  There is a
routine to call HELM in eos_lib.  See Mesa/eos/public/eos_lib.f90 and
search for eos_get_helm_results.

This should work well for high-T (ionized atomic) opacities but not for
low-T (neutral atomic and molecular).
