Internal Data Set

The data set used is dependant upon the patch type, which are as follows:
|
Scatter: |
Patches are fitted to a scattered set of data points generated from the boundary curves and any other curves which cross the boundary curves, such as knuckles, plines, sections, waterlines, This gives the most accurate way of describing the patch. |
|
|
Boundary: |
These patches only use data from the boundary curves. They are therefore ideal for planar areas such as FOB and FOS and also for long thin patches such as stem bars, or for areas which have a regular or constant shape. |
|
|
Regular: |
Patches are fitted using data from one set of orthogonal curves and two patch boundaries. This should only be used if scatter or boundary type patching methods are unsuitable. |
