This test case checks the creation of a 1.05 Mjup, Z=1e-4 metallicity model and its subsequent evolution for 20 billion years.

This test case has 1 part. Click to see a larger version of a plot.

* Part 1 (``inlist_make_brown_dwarf``) creates a 1.05 Mjup, Z=1e-4 metallicity model, using the less frequently deployed ``create_initial_model`` capability, and evolves the brown drawf model for 20 billion years.
