[Mesa-users] mtransfer_rate stuck while using other_rlo_mdot

[Surjakanta Kundu]

Hi everyone!

I have been trying to use modified Mass Transfer rates in a binary system
by using the "other_rlo_mdot" hook. My mass transfer rates or mdots are
calculated in units of Msun/yr. Therefore, I multiply my mdots with a
constant Msun/secyer to convert them into g/s. However, when I do so, the
mtransfer_rate gets stuck at 1e-7 Msun/yr.

Also, if I do not multiply the constant Msun/secyer, mtransfer_rate gets
updated without problems. Since mtransfer_rate has to be in units of g/s, I
do have to multiply the constant factor.

Is there any limit on mtransfer_rate that restricts it to 1e-7 Msun/yr? How
do I feed my mdots into mtransfer_rate in units of g/s?

Thank You so much!

Best,
Surjakanta.
