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

[Rob Farmer]

Hi,

A simple option would be to have the secondary write out a mod file at the
point where you stop.Then that mod file can then be loaded in a single star
run (copying over the inlists used for the secondary) or if you still want
the point particle secondary then have the inlist1 load that mod file (and
set the secondary inlist appropriately). Thus do what you tried but instead
of using a photo use a saved mod file.
