Re: [Getfem-users] Dirichlet boundary condition on vertex

[Yves Renard]

Dear James,

The (old) brick on which you refer take a global constraint matrix in 
argument. This should be a global matrix (nb_constraints  x  nb_dof)

Note that in the new brick system, there is now a special brick to set 
components on specific points (for instance to kill rigid body modes). The 
points are not necessarily some vertices of the mesh. This is the "pointwise 
constraints brick". It is available in the svn version only.

Yves.
