Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I have PBC in all the 3 directions ( I have included
the code snippet above for only 1 direction). In addition to this, I want
to apply compression in 1 direction.

I checked the constraints using
AffineConstraints::is_consistent_in_parallel() and it returned 1. So, that
does not seem to be the issue. I found this problem with multiple processes
even with the step-45 example. Everything works fine when I have DBC
instead of PBC.

Thanks in advance,
