"""Native AgentFEM FE reproduction of Ye et al. (2026), Figure 9. The paper's homogenized orientational potential is added to a finite-thickness Saint-Venant--Kirchhoff solid. AgentFEM owns the mesh, P2 displacement field, material, boundary conditions, Newton solve, DG0 projections, ParaView series, result manifest and run provenance. The paper equations are used only as an independent reference and as the Newton initial guess.
