How to have 2D bar on side of 3D plot?

I have a 3D plot that contains a mesh that I update iteratively to create an animation.

Is there a way I can add a 2D bar to the side of the 3D figure similiar to how a colorbar looks, but instead of color data, I want to display one of my parameters that changes over time.

The final animation would show the mesh changing shape and a line of the 2D bar moving up and down depending on the value of a parameter.

See if subplot or tiledlayout (introduced in R2019b) will do what you want. That is likely the closest it’s possible to get.
