[Mesa-users] Overshooting in massive stars

[Anne Thoul]

Hi Jelena

You’ll find examples in the test_suite cases  mentioned in the release notes I pointed to you. Look at the massive stars examples.
You could also look at the controls.default file located in star/defaults to see all possibilities.

By the way, do you have a good reason to use such an « old » version of mesa? There have been a number of improvements since then…

Cheers

Anne
