// Description: This file contains the class definition for 
// PenaltyConstraintHandler. PenaltyConstraintHandler is a 
// constraint handler for handling constraints using the penalty method.
// for each element and degree-of-freedom at a node it constructs regular
// FE_Element and DOF_Groups; for each SFreedom_Constraint and MFreedom_Constraint
// PenaltySFreedom_FE and PenaltyMFreedom_FE elements are created.
//
// What: "@(#) PenaltyConstraintHandler.h, revA"
