[Mesa-users] Status of 15 MSun "Running MESA" example on MESAstar.org page?

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Bernard,

I've just done a fresh install of r22.11.1 and run the default work folder, and this looks like it's expected behaviour now.  We'll fix the docs to say the run should finish after 208 steps.

Thanks for catching this!

Cheers,
Warrick
