DOLFIN

specifying a subset of boundary conditions

Asked by Paul Constantine

Suppose I have a function on a VectorFunctionSpace. Is there a way to specify the (Dirichlet) boundary conditions on only one component and leave the other "free?" This is inside a nonlinear solver.

Yes.

# First component
bc0 = DirichetBC(W.sub(0), . . . )

# Third component
bc2 = DirichetBC(W.sub(2), . . . )
