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.

How do I constrain only one of the components? As it stands now, you'll need to use the penalty method.
