# AM Packing Benchmarks
This repository contains my personal (putative/quasi-optimum) solutions for many packing problem benchmark instances.
Some of the solutions are also listed on Eckard Specht's excellent website www.packomania.com. He has nice pictures, shortest tours of the items and a contact analysis for each packing. Note that he uses a different file format and normalizes most of the container sizes to 1.
You should also have a look at http://www2.stetson.edu/~efriedma/packing.html.
See below for a list of all benchmarks, tables of all the symbols used, etc.
#### Repository Structure
```
container_type
scenario_type
{overview images}
{benchmark result lists}
item_shape_distribution
{result packing files}
```
#### Conventions
* items : objects to be packed
* container : object(s) enclosing the items
* n : number of items
* i : item index in range [1,n]
* i = 0 : container index
* Containers are centered at the global origin and aligned to the coordinate system axes.
* Symbols referring to container properties start with an uppercase letter.
#### Scenario / Folder Names
* find smallest container for a set of items:
"min-ContainerType(ItemType)"
* find legal arrangement of items in a rigid container:
"ContainerType(ItemType)"
