🐞 Description of the bug

Hi Team,

I noticed that, if I include a solve in batch using

embedded_app.DataModel.Project.Model.Solve()

and subsequently plot with matplotlib the Python editor will crash. The remedy is to use:

embedded_app.new()

but maybe it should work also without this line or at least should not crash the editor. Could you please have a look? Thank you

Best, Drago

📝 Steps to reproduce

1) open a model using PyMechanical 2) execute solution using app.solve() 3) include plot using matplotlib
