I used the default option. (I don't know what's the default?)
#EquationSystems
  n_systems()=1
   System #0, "homogenization_elastic_3D_plate"
    Type "LinearImplicit"
    Variables="u" "v" "w"

    Approximation Orders="FIRST" "FIRST" "FIRST"

    n_local_dofs()=648
    n_constrained_dofs()=198
    n_local_constrained_dofs()=198
    n_vectors()=13
    n_matrices()=1
    DofMap Sparsity
      Average  On-Processor Bandwidth <= 84
      Average Off-Processor Bandwidth <= 0
      Maximum  On-Processor Bandwidth <= 144
      Maximum Off-Processor Bandwidth <= 0
    DofMap Constraints
      Number of DoF Constraints = 198
      Average DoF Constraint Length= 1

That's just what I'm doing.

How to set it in my code? Can you give me a simple example?
Thanks for your answer!
