How to plot a deformed finite element mesh

I want to show how the mesh could become distorted in a nonlinear finite element analysis. However, when I plot the final displacement, due to the distortion of the elements, the elements on the middle overwrite the elements on the top of the mesh as illustrated in the figure:

I want to change it: I want the elements in the first rows to overwrite the others in the middle, so the plot will show the distortion that happens there.

Have a look on this tool: https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32719-postprocessing-in-fem

I have used your code to plot the deformations. The way I was inputting the nodes, makes all the difference.

If you like the code..rate and comment there...
