I'm new with ansys, and I'm trying to run this code, it was suposed to generate a graphic, but it does not, and it does not returns any error. This code is an exemple of the ansys itself, and, because of this, I believe it should run fine...

What am I doing wrong??
The code doesn't generate a plot. What it generates is a file named vm173.vrt. The result in the file:
------------------- VM173 RESULTS COMPARISON -------------
