Upload includes post-processed simulation output in the files Z-XX.tar.xz, where XX represents the metallicity (Z-25.tar.gz is for a metallicity of log10(Z)=-2.5). Each folder inside the archive corresponds to a single MESA simulation, with the name indicating the value of log10(M_1), q=M2/M1 and the orbital period in days. For example, the directory 1.600_0.500_0.900 corresponds to the simulation with log10(M1/Msun)=1.6, M2/M1=0.5 and Porb=0.9 days. Each folder is also a MESA template folder, containing all input files neccesary to reproduce that individual simulation.
