I do not think there is an explicit magnetised BNS example in the
gallery. There is a single magnetised star in the runs we did for the
GRHydro MHD paper, for which you can find the parameter file here:
https://www.einsteintoolkit.org/mp.html in the magnetized TOV parfile
https://www.einsteintoolkit.org/publications/2013_MHD/par/tov/tov8m3.par

A binary could likely be set up similarly. You can also try and see if
IllinoisGRMHD (part of the Einstein Toolkit) has parameter files for
this situation.

There is no nucleosynthesis code available in the Einstein Toolkit. For
postprocessing you could have a look at Jonas Lippuner's SkyNet code:
http://jonaslippuner.com/research/skynet/ which was used to postprocess data from supernova simulations using the Einstein Toolkit https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.09370 

It is likely too slow (since it contains too many species) to directly
use it during evolution (and there is no equation of state implemented
right now that would allow for multiple species in the gas, though you
may ask around in the list of someone has implemented anything they
would be willing to share).

Yours,
Roland
