摘要
The problem addressed in this paper is that of orthogonally packing a given set of rectangular-shaped items into a minimum number of three-dimensional rectangular bins. We harness the computing power of the modem day computers to solve this NP-Hard problem that would be otherwise practically extremely difficult. The software tool that we develop using both heuristics and some knapsack problem approach, presents the solutions as a 3D graphical representation of the solution space. The visual and interactive ability of the simulation model provides a disciplined approach to solving the 3D Bin Packing Problem.
