How to obtain an abbreviation of FEM family?

Question

Dear all,

please what is the best way to obtain something like CG, DG ... instead of Lagrange, Discontinuous Lagrange ... from function V.ufl_element().family()?

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

Hi, I think what you are looking for is the _short_name attribute of ufl.FiniteElement

print V.ufl_element()._short_name
