[Mesa-users] CCSN_IIp module: infall up to what radius?

Dear all,

I am running into an issue while trying to use the CCSN_IIp test_suite problem. So the inlist_infall continues evolution of the star till the inner radius falls below 400 km. I'm not sure how to compute this value (400 km) for any arbitrary model.

For example, in a pre-core-collapse model I ran, the inner radius won't go below ~1600 km (found by trial and error). Is there a way to compute the lower threshold of the inner radius and set the center_R_lower_limit parameter to that before the test problem is run? Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Soham
