[Mesa-users] How do you change timestep in MESA?

Good day to all,

I am running a simulation on a red dwarf star, and it is always terminated
with this message:

"stopping because of problems dt < min_timestep_limit
terminated evolution: cannot find acceptable model
termination code: min_timestep_limit"

I would like to ask a few questions in regards to this:
1. What does this error mean?
2. Where is the timestep adjusted? Where do you add the timestep value:
&star_job or &controls?

Thank you in advance for helping me out. The help is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Bea
