Hi everyone, I've been using MESA to investigate population II and III stars by controlling this intial_z value for singular stars. This was working fine until I moved to the binary case, where I used the second set of instructions from this <https://sourceforge.net/p/mesa/mailman/message/34896105/> post to create my own ZAMS model with certain initial_z values, then matching that in the inlists from the binary work folder. I've been having problems trying to evolve the system, even if I set evolve_both_stars to false (after initially trying true). The first termination code read "Terminate because of overflowing initial model", so I tried increasing the initial period as some users had suggested, and later tried setting ignore_rlof to true, both of which resulted in failure to find a suitable model. I'm not really sure where to go from here, so I've attached my inlists (the only ones I edited) and the inlist_zams_specification I used. I'd greatly appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
