Is anyone know automatic packaging algorithm of three dimensions cube box? we want to put a large quantity of small boxes(eg. wooden box) into a few big boxes(eg. truck) for transportation. Conditions: 1, Given number of box types£¬the outline dimensions (L*W*H) of each type box is known. and quantity of each type box is Ni,( i=1,...,n, Ni may be different), total quantity of small boxes is: N1 + N2 + ... + Nm 2, Given finite number of big box and dimensions L*W*H Question: 1,How to put fixed quantity of small boxes into as few as possible big boxes ? how many big boxes are needed? Biggest box should be selected firstly. Does anyone can provide the algorithm ? Is any software available which can output diagram and text illustration of placement small boxes in big boxes? Davis
