[Mesa-users] Requesting A Small Clarification

[Francis Timmes]

hi pulkit,

in general

https://docs.mesastar.org/en/release-r22.05.1/reference/controls.html#timestep-controls

and more specifically

https://docs.mesastar.org/en/release-r22.05.1/reference/controls.html#min-timestep-limit

when "dt < min_timestep_limit" is emitted it means the model is having trouble progressing in time.
best to make some plots to diagnose what is going on with the model and thus maybe why its having troubles.
