[Mesa-users] How to stop calculating the primary evolution details?

Dear all,

I have calculated evolution of a massive binary to the point that the 
primary finished carbon core burning and the secondary is still a main 
sequence star.
I need to now stop calculating the primary evolution details and treat 
it further as a point star, but I am not managing to set this properly.

If I try 'evolve both stars = .false', the evolution of the secondary is 
not calculated. If I swap inlist1 and inlist2 definitions in 
inlist_project, the code crashes immediately
after I restart with ./re <x...>

Is there a way to stop calculating the primary evolution details and 
follow further only the secondary evolution?

Many thanks,
Jelena
