This structure is part of the PK_FACE_replace_with_sheet_o_t options structure.
It contains the patch data.

Used in:

PK_FACE_change_patch_o_t
PK_FACE_replace_with_sheet_o_t

Description of fields:



'patch_type'        Indicates whether each face in 'target_patches' array will
                    be replaced by the corresponding face in 'tool_patches'
                    array with matching boundary.

                    The permitted values are:

                    PK_replace_patch_no_c   do not require to match any face
                                            boundaries

                    PK_replace_patch_yes_c  require to match the sheet boundary
                                            of each face in 'tool_patches'
                                            array to the corresponding face
                                            in 'target_patches' array

                    The default value is PK_replace_patch_no_c
                    See here for more information.


'n_matches'         Number of matched faces, i.e. the length of 'tool_patches'
                    and 'target_patches'.
                    The default value is 0.


'tool_patches'      Array of the faces along the boundary of the tool body
                    whose laminar edges lie on the corresponding faces in
                    'target_patches' array.
                    The array default value is NULL.


'target_patches'    Array of the faces of the target body that are replaced by
                    the faces in 'tool_patches' array in corresponding order.
                    The array default value is NULL.


'n_patch_edges'     Number of patch edges.


'patch_edges'       Boundary edges of the patch tool to be explicitly
                    imprinted on to the target body.
