Python - ResultType and PlotType

Question

Hi, 
 I am able to export the Output plot using Python code, per the guidance provided in this article. 
 https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/45549/export-and-format-plots-from-plaxis-output 
 
 I tried out to output the plot of the Deformed mesh. 
 With the echo function, I obtained the following: 
 Plot named "Plot_1" ResultType: |u| PlotType: None (0) 
 
 For PlotType, I tried inputting "None (0)"/"None"/"0" into: 
 for phase in g_o.Phases: g_o.Plots[-1].Phase = phase g_o.Plots[-1].ResultType = g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.Utot g_o.Plots[-1].PlotType = 'None' 
 but the following error is shown below. 
 Invalid value: "None (0)". Allowed values are: nodearrows, contourlines, shadings, nodelabels or ordinal value. 
 
 Anyone knows how do I specify "None (0)" into PlotType as shown in the echo function?

Dear Xiang Kai Woon, 
 None means that nothing exists. I know that this is an issue for the deformed mesh plot as it does not have a PlotType yet. We are working on that. 
 The rest of the plots do, though, which is why I recommend first making an export of the Deformed mesh and then proceeding with the rest of the plots.

Dear Arnkjell, 
 The option to switch to Deformed mesh will be included in our upcoming release of PLAXIS. 
 With the V22 or V21 the only workaround is to perform all the exports when you first launch PLAXIS Output, in which the Deformed mesh is by default selected.

Dear Arnkjell, 
 That is already possible by using the command: s_o.close()
