Re: [mesa-users] Manual refinement in MESA

Hi Manos,  

There are a number of “smarter” ways to adjust the mesh than just mesh_delta_coeff. Look under MESA_DIR/star/defaults/controls in the "mesh adjustment” section for lots of useful controls. This one seems like the one for you:  

!### xa_mesh_delta_coeff  

! Useful if you want to increase `mesh_delta_coeff` during advanced burning.  
! If `xa_function_species(j)` has the largest atomic number in current set of species,
! then multiply `mesh_delta_coeff` by `xa_mesh_delta_coeff(j)`.

xa_mesh_delta_coeff(:) = 1
