Default Can A Patch Ant. be modeled in EZNEC?

Only if there's no dielectric between the patch and ground plane. This
configuration is uncommon. There's no way for EZNEC or other NEC-based
program to account for the dielectric normally used.

Do you make the flat plates with parrallel lines?


Normally you would use a wire grid. The method is described in the manual.

Or is there a function to give you a solid plate?


No.
