I am trying to write a linear elasticity solver to couple with a phase field 
solution. I prefer using the way dirichlet_boundaries applies boundary 
conditions as opposed to penalty, owing largely to better condition number. On 
the other hand using vector elements allows me to code in a more dimension 
independent way.  I just wondered if it was possible to do both together. 
Thanks.

Hi, 
I have a small question about applying boundary conditions using the Dirichlet 
Boundary Conditions while solving a problem with lagrangian_vector elements. 
How do I constrain only one of the components? 



As it stands now, you'll need to use the penalty method. In what context is 
this appearing?
