Using the Create Nodestrings tool, create four nodestrings enclosing the area to be patched.

2. Convert section of mesh to the Map module.
Select the nodes strings Select the Data \| Mesh→Map command Choose the Nodestrings → Arcs option Click on Create New Coverage Choose Mesh Generator, click OK. Click OK to close the Mesh→Map dialog

3. Generate mesh with patch elements.
Build polygons in the new Mesh Generator coverage Set appropriate options on the polygons Generate a mesh from the coverage

4. Merge meshes.
