Abstract

The NP complete problem of the orthogonal packing of objects of arbitrary dimension is considered in the general form. A new model for representing objects in containers is proposed that ensures the fast design of an orthogonal packing. New heuristics for the placement of orthogonal packing are proposed. A single-pass heuristic algorithm and a multimethod genetic algorithm are developed that optimize an orthogonal packing solution by increasing the packing density. Numerical experiments for two- and three-dimensional orthogonal packing problems are performed.
