+#The original tutorial () also demonstrated how to create a animation plot of a result. This is not natively available in pymapdl but since this is python, you can google for ideas and create your own animation.
+
+#One idea is to create a series of plots and then stitch them together. This can be done with the python imageio.v2 library.
