[Mesa-users] Entropy Profiles and relaxation

Hi all,

I want entropy profiles from pgplot but when I add the following lines:

         Summary_Profile_file_flag = .true.
         Summary_Profile_name(:) = 'entropy'
         Summary_Profile_file_interval = 200
         Summary_Profile_num_lines = 1
         Summary_Profile_name(1) = 'entropy'
         Summary_Profile_legend(1) = 'entropy rel'

The Y-axis has strange units or is normalised (see attachment). How can I get this in cgs units? Also is there a way to get multiple entropy profiles on one plot with pgplot?

I also have a question about entropy relaxation. I'm attempting to relax the entropy of a star but it eventually runs into convergences issues after a number of steps. Is this normal i.e. theoretically can a star be relaxed through an infinite number of steps? or is this a sign of improper physics in my inlist file?


Thanks

Akaash
