There's a lot of ways to approach Hex meshing in Patran. A lot of it involves breaking solids into Hexmeshable pieces that are essentially solids with no more than 6 faces, with those faces containing no more than 4 edges. Other approaches involve Sweep Meshing, which is called the 2.5D method.
Here's a few exercises and examples that you should be able to glean some of the many ways this can be done:
