Why does ch_adv_model_rates prompt for both an abundance file and an ioneq file? #20

Description

@wtbarnes

Whenever I run ch_adv_model_rates, with or without an atmosphere file, I am prompted to select and abundance file and (multiple times) to select an ioneq file. From what I can tell, this is originating from the call to ch_setup_ion in get_populations which is called in ch_adv_model_rates in order to compute the level populations.

  1. Why are the abundances and ionization balance even necessary in this calculation?
  2. Is there a way to pass in an abundance value or filename to avoid the GUI dialogue each time these are run?
