    Setting edgeDisplay to 3 will show the Mesh, to hide it set it to any other value:

    graphics = ExtAPI.DataModel.InternalObject["ds"].Graphics
graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay = 3
graphics.Refresh()

    Function ExtAPI.DataModel.InternalObject["ds"].Graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay has several options which are worth to be commented. Please see below code:

    No wireframe: value 0

    Undeformed WireFrame: value 1

    Undeformed Model: value 2

    Show elements: value 3 (explained in the first answer)

    graphics = ExtAPI.DataModel.InternalObject["ds"].Graphics

# No wireframe
#graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay = 0
#graphics.Refresh()

# Undeformed wireframe
# graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay = 1
# graphics.Refresh()

# Undefromed model
# graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay = 2
# graphics.Refresh()

# Show elements
# graphics.ResultPrefs.edgeDisplay = 3
# graphics.Refresh()

    Prefs = ExtAPI.Graphics.ViewOptions.ResultPreference
    Prefs.ShowMaximum=False
    Prefs.ShowMinimum=False
    Prefs.ExtraModelDisplay=MechanicalEnums.Graphics.ExtraModelDisplay.NoWireframe
