meaning of failure to produce any output

[mjoyce]

Hi all,
I have a general question. I'm trying to compute just the fundamental pressure mode for a large number of MESA models, so cycling over a GYRE template inlist restricted to a certain range (in muhz, which is not the best unit for this kind of star but is the one I'm most familiar with--I've made sure the max and min values are right).

GYRE only produces output for about a third of my models, despite very similar conditions, and I can't figure out why. I've tried changing parameters in MESA that should increase the resolution of the model, lowering the timestep in MESA to make sure I'm getting the stopping point I want, etc.

Is there something obviously wrong with this inlist? Attached

In cases where no output is generated, the terminal reports

Basically I don't know what [nothing] means, or what's going wrong (or why a not-insignificant portion of these models work just fine). Any insight is appreciated

I think I figured it out:

If GYRE doesn't tell you there's something wrong, and there's no segfault/obvious breaking, it just means no frequencies were found in the specified range. Is this a safe assumption?

Yep, that's right!
