Physical layout algorithm for circular pieces

Abstract

The present invention relates to a physical layout algorithm for circular pieces, comprising the following steps: firstly initializing algorithm parameters; reading radius sizes of the circular pieces and corresponding quantity information; numbering the circular pieces one by one; reading width information of a plate; setting a point in the lower left corner of the plate as a coordinate origin; setting a horizontal direction as x-axis; establishing a Cartesian coordinate system; disordering the numbered circular pieces with a random method; placing the correspondingly numbered circular pieces in the plate by using a circuitous arrangement algorithm according to a disordered sequence; establishing a rubber band to surround all the circular pieces to be laid out, so that the circular pieces are gathered toward the bottom of the plate under the shrinkage action of the rubber band to gradually realize a compact layout; calculating the plate utilization rate; judging whether a current layout result meets requirements or not or whether the number of iterations exceeds the maximum number of iterations or not; and if yes, outputting an optimal layout result. According to the present invention, the physical layout algorithm has the average plate utilization rate of more than 80%, is easy in realization of programming, and has better adaptability to various engineering application examples.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Circular parts layout is divided into equal circle layout problem and unequal circle layout problem. Regardless of the type of layout, the traditional method of relying on engineers to manually operate layout layout on CAD software cannot make reasonable planning for the board. The rate is not high, and as the number of circular parts to be nested increases, the time it takes will increase, and at the same time, it cannot meet the requirements of real-time product updates

[0004] For the current layout optimization algorithms for circular parts, different heuristic rules are artificially formulated and combined with swarm intelligence algorithms. For some typical application cases, these layout algorithms have achieved good results. However, artificially formulated It is always impossible for the rules to adapt to the ever-changing product mix, and it is often impossible to obtain a satisfactory layout plan
