[Mesa-users] Question regarding create_pre_main_sequence_model unused in binary mode

[Bear Ealeal]

Binary mode vs. single mode

In the single mode when evolving a star from the beginning, examples in test_suite use create_pre_main_sequence_model=.true. or a loadedfile. However in the binary mode examples do not use this option. However, thecode starts at some point and evolves.

For example in evolve_both_stars in test_suite theoption of create_pre_main_sequence_model is not activated, however when runningthe example it starts at 1e5yr. From where does it get the data to start? whatare the initial conditions for this option?

Thanks,

Ealeal
