Abstract
A computer-implemented method for repairing a structural defect includes determining a size and position of a defect within a structural element and, in accordance with a structural analysis of the defect, determining a stitching pattern that counters loss of structural integrity due to the defect. A set of holes and channels are formed in the structural element in accordance with the stitching pattern. The set of holes and channels in the structural element are filled around the defect in accordance with the stitching pattern to increase strength around the defect.
