Abstract

A sort of packing and layout optimization problem with mechanics character constraints is discussed in this paper, that is the model of equilibrium distribution of dishes on a rotating circular table. A heuristic algorithm called quasi-experiment method is presented. The heuristic chain interchanging and main layout model methods are given to construct the topological layout model, and algorithms to search for the optimal layout under this initial model are recommended. In the search process, the technic of vector operation is used in order to ease up ‘‘combinatory explosion’ 7 . An example is given at the end of this paper.
