This test case evolves a very massive helium star from the He-ZAMS
up to the occurrence of a pulsational pair-instability event (see |Marchant2019|).

Initialization of the model
===========================
The initial mass of the helium star is set in ``inlist_extra``

.. literalinclude:: ../../../star/test_suite/ppisn/inlist_extra

In this case we use a :math:`72 M_\odot`
