ABSTRACT:
Method of placing and extracting modules in such a way that a minimum area capable of accommodating the modules can be systematically searched for. The placement of the modules is started with drawing a grid having partitions or rooms greater in number than the modules. The grid is drawn by horizontal and vertical lines. Each horizontal line extends across two horizontally adjacent rooms. Each vertical line extends across two vertically adjacent rooms. Then, rectangular modules are arranged in the drawn rooms. Thereafter, the vertical lines are shrunk so that the horizontal lines are brought close to the top or bottom side of the grid while maintaining the vertical lengths of the modules inside the rooms. Finally, the horizontal lines are shrunk so that the vertical lines are brought close to the left or right side of the grid while maintaining the horizontal lengths of the modules inside the rooms.
