[Mesa-users] Question about modelling a star with neutron star at its core

[Francis Timmes]

one should walk through "getting started" 
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/starting.html

and "using pgstar"

I think there are various options available in the default files, and if I want to change those values then I have to make inlists to include those changes (otherwise the model will take the default values). Is this the way the process works? If I am wrong, please correct me. Is there any tutorial available for beginners? Though this is a very basic question, it will help me to understand the process better.

I want to model a star which has a neutron star at its core and a gaseous envelope (about the size of solar radius or more) over it (more or less like a Thorne Zytkow object). Is it possible to model this type of star in MESA? As I am new here, can someone please guide me how do I do that (or any specific tutorial available to handle this problem)?
