Cubing - Boxes on a pallet

I’d like to find best fill on a pallet. If i know the dimensions of the boxes and the pallet, can I workout teh optimum fill, if I can vary the orientation in 2 of the dimensions?

Hello @Andy_D,

I tried using a component to find the optimum fit for the problem, considering the pallet is stationary. I set up the six possible orientations in the variable expressions, ensuring the pallet was always set as LHW while matching it with different box dimensions.

With my example data, I found that the HWL orientation resulted in the highest number of boxes fitting on the pallet, indicating that the length of the pallet aligns with the height of the box, and so on.

Here is the link to the component.

Best,
Keerthan
