# Plot the bare mesh of a model
model = dpf.Model(examples.find_multishells_rst())
model.plot(color="w", show_edges=True, title="Model", text="Model plot")
# # Additional PyVista kwargs are supported, such as:
model.plot(
    off_screen=True,
    notebook=False,
    screenshot="model_plot.png",
    title="Model",
    text="Model plot off",
)

# Notes:
# - To make screenshots, use "screenshot" as well as "notebook=False" if on a Jupyter notebook.
# - The "off_screen" keyword only works when "notebook=False" to prevent the GUI from appearing.


# Plot a field on its supporting mesh (field location must be Elemental or Nodal)

stress.inputs.requested_location.connect(dpf.locations.nodal)

    notebook=False,
    screenshot="field_plot.png",
    title="Field",

# # Alternatively one can plot the MeshedRegion associated to the model
