[Mesa-users] Non-adiabatic GYRE and input format?

[Giovanni Mirouh]

Hi Rich,

thanks for confirming what I guessed. Thank you very much for having a 
look into this, please feel free to contact me directly if I can 
contribute anything to the testing, and in the meantime I will switch to 
MESA/GYRE inputs as it seems the most straightforward option.

Later I'll look into the GSM format for sure.

Cheers.

GSM format is similar to MESA format, but packaged in an HDF5 container — as a result, it takes up significantly less disk space.

From the error message, it appears some variables are missing from the OSC files. I have attached my GYRE inlist, the output I get (both stdout and error), and my 5MB OSC model file can be found here https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://drop.infini.fr/r/j7Ey8qmRM7*uX/Rewom6a73q4D4EHmVbq063lJ53waucJ6gasUs4aI=__;Iw!!Mak6IKo!Ly-qBBwfWMrxXU95GPpDabFpzyl0DpD7DbFKIh130mgwBtYVhO8BPcfg6Lt4hL9javwKiPN8edu-OQBdr_lhzgS1KQYtUBg$ .

I quickly checked the documentation of both formats, they seem to contain almost the exact same info except that OSC has (eps_nuc + eps_grav) while GYRE/MESA has the two quantities as two separate variables, am I missing some subtlety here?
