When using the functionObject to probe a vector (e.g. velocity) at a location, the output is in the format:
Unlike sampling or using probeLocations, until now AFAIK it is not possible to use U.component(0) to spit only the X-component. To resolve that using gnuplot, one can use:
to plot the Ux component...

A mixed boundary condition is a combination of a fixedValue (Drichilet) and a fixedGradient (Neumann) boundaries determined by a fraction value. When fraction = 1, the BC is fixedValue and when it is set to zero the BC is fixedGradient. Values in between calculate a value in between (see code).

The directionMixed BC allows changing the fraction value for different directions. Assuming a plane-strain stress analysis that needs fixation in X-direction (Dx = 0) and free Y-direction...
