Hello,

Sorry for asking a probably simple question. I ran the latest MESA code to evolve a 30 Msun model to ZAMS. I copied “profile_columns.list” from the default and uncommented line "eps_grav ! -T*ds/dt (negative for expansion)”. To my surprise, its values are exactly 0 even for the first profile. Is this expected?
