Boundary conditions

In this section of the tutorial the user can learn how to apply the boundary conditions to a finite element problem. First of all, we describe which are the input arguments typically used to define a single boundary condition (BCBase) and which types of boundary conditions are available in the library. Then, we describe how to create the object (BCHandler) that contains and handles all the problem's boundary conditions. Finally, we detail the methods that should be called to properly update and to apply the boundary conditions to the linear system.

1. Specification of a single boundary condition - In this tutorial we list the types of boundary conditions available in the library.
2. Creation of BCHandler - In this tutorial we describe how to create and feed an object of class BCHandler.
3. Application of Boundary Conditions - In this tutorial we detail how to update and apply the boundary conditions to the linear system.
