[Mesa-users] Timestep issue at the He flash stage

[Bill Paxton]

as you said, it takes your inlists about 100 steps for the end_core_he_burn part to get into trouble starting from your start_he_core_flash.mod.  At that point, lg_L3a has reached 9.5, nearly the peak of the flash.

for comparison, the standard 1M_pre_ms_to_wd case takes over 400 steps to get a similar lg_L3a.  It then continues happily though the flash.

so you need to see why your inlists are causing the code to take much larger timesteps than the standard inlists.

fix that so that the timesteps are similar, then see what happens and let us know.

cheers,
