[Mesa-users] Overshooting in massive stars

[Anne Thoul]

Hi Jelena

Indeed this is not enough to turn on overshooting in MESA.
The controls to use depend on which version of mesa you are using, as they have been changed recently.
Please see the latest release notes 
https://lists.mesastar.org/pipermail/mesa-users/2020-March/011168.html
You will find there some examples of controls you can use for overshooting, and it will point you to some examples in the test_suite.

I hope this helps

Anne
