Research direction
Start with the reproduced call to result.plot_nodal_solution(0, 'norm', label='Displacement') and inspect the attached MODEL.txt result file. Compare its output with the APDL screenshots to identify which plotting behavior differs, then add a regression check showing that the Python plot matches the expected APDL result.
