Box with Quad Mesh

Box example meshed with quadrilateral elements.

Notes

This case reuses the box-beam layout but switches the mesh to quadrilateral elements:

<element_shape>quad</element_shape>
<element_type>linear</element_type>

It is useful as a compact regression case when changes affect mesh generation or quadrilateral element handling.
