Dear developer,

         I am using FEniCS to do mixed finite element case. There are five 
element spaces in my case and the boundary conditions for space Vqp and Vu are 
homogeneous Dirichlet condition. I define the BCs in my code like following way:

# Define function spaces
Vqp = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 2)
Vu = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 2)
Vp = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
Vr = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 2)
Vy = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)

W = Vqp * Vu * Vp * Vr * Vy

# Define boundary conditions
u0 = Constant((0.0,0.0))
u1 = Constant(0.0)
bc0 = DirichletBC(W.sub(0), u0, "on_boundary")
bc1 = DirichletBC(W.sub(1), u1, "on_boundary")

# Collect boundary conditions
bcs = [bc0, bc1] 

However, error occurred when my code is running. The detail error infos are 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo_stokes-taylorhood.py", line 49, in <module>
    bc0 = DirichletBC(W.sub(0), u0, "on_boundary")

*** Error:   Unable to create Dirichlet boundary condition.

I don’t know what caused this. Is there any wrong with my definition of BCs? 
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks a lot.


Best wishes,
