Display pdeplot3D in Matlab App

Hello I want to display a pdeplot3D or a pdeplot in a Matlab App (using Matlab Appdesigner).

The Plot should be embedded in the main view and not be opend in a new Window.

To sum it up: I want to use the plot created by following command:

pdeplot3D(model,'ColorMapData',result.Stress.sxx,'Deformation',result.Displacement) 

directly in Matlab Appdesigner.

The User should be able to make changes (e.q. change Boundary Conditions) and should see the newly generated plot in the App.

How can I achieve this?

In App Designer you need to defined the Axes. It looks like pdeplot3D does not have an input for Axes - it generates one with the newplot command. Below is a work around.

            model = createpde;
            importGeometry(model,'Block.stl');
            applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',[1:4],'u',0);
            specifyCoefficients(model,'m',0,'d',0,'c',1,'a',0,'f',2);
            generateMesh(model);
            results = solvepde(model);
            u = results.NodalSolution;

            h = pdeplot3D(model,'ColorMapData',u);
            h(2).Parent = app.UIAxes;
            view(app.UIAxes,45,45)
            colorbar(app.UIAxes)
            close(h(1).Parent)

            axis(app.UIAxes,'off')
            

Edit: This one would be more simliar to yours since you had a transform (notice you need to change the parent of the parent of the handle rather than just the parent of the handle due to the transform).

            structuralmodel = createpde('structural','static-solid');
            importGeometry(structuralmodel,'SquareBeam.stl');
            structuralProperties(structuralmodel,'PoissonsRatio',0.3, ...
                'YoungsModulus',210E3);
            structuralBC(structuralmodel,'Face',6,'Constraint','fixed');
            structuralBoundaryLoad(structuralmodel,'Face',5, ...
                'SurfaceTraction', ...
                [0;0;-2]);
            generateMesh(structuralmodel);
            structuralresults = solve(structuralmodel);
            figure
            h = pdeplot3D(structuralmodel, ...
                'ColorMapData',structuralresults.VonMisesStress, ...
                'Deformation',structuralresults.Displacement)
            h(2).Parent.Parent = app.UIAxes;
            view(app.UIAxes2,45,45)
            colorbar(app.UIAxes)
            close(h(1).Parent)

            axis(app.UIAxes,'off')
