[Mesa-users] Light curves of binary systems

Hi everyone

Is it possible to use MESA to create light curves of an eclipsing binary 
system? In particular I'm interested in modelling a main sequence star 
with a white dwarf companion; a light curve would be very helpful to 
compare with existing observational data. Even better would be to model 
the accretion disk during an outburst. I've scoured the documentation 
but can't find anything that matches this scenario. Any suggestions or 
pointers?

Cheers

Kevin
