primary requiv not changing

[kathmcp]

I am using a python interface, via jupyter notebook, and in trying to set up my contact binary, i keep getting numerous warnings. I assume my starting parameters are not close enough to a solution, which is causing the problem. But when I update requiv for primary and rerun the code, the warning doesn't seem to know I have updated requiv.

Those are most likely intermediate warnings. The warnings are checked after each value is changed by default, and so likely are being raised when you change sma but before you change requiv. These automated warnings can be disabled by calling phoebe.interactive_checks_off() (which is slated to become the new default in the 2.4 release as more people are using jupyter and this is a common point of confusion).

You can manually run any checks with print(b.run_checks()). If any checks are not passing, then they will be raised as errors once you call run_compute. You can also always print the value of the primary radius to confirm it has been set properly: print(b_cb.get_value('requiv', component='primary')).
