Container loading optimization for hollow circular pipes

One or more computing devices comprising:

• processors;
• and
• memory;
• the one or more computing devices configured, via computer-executable instructions, to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of a plurality of hollow circular pipes to be loaded into a container;
• determining an optimal telescopic arrangement for the plurality of hollow circular pipes, wherein determining the optimal telescopic arrangement comprises:
• determining a concentric telescopic arrangement that includes arranging pipes within pipes concentrically based at least in part on largest internal radius;
• determining a radial telescope arrangement using the concentric telescopic arrangement, wherein determining the radial telescopic arrangement is based at least in part on radial gaps within the concentric telescopic arrangement;
• and
• generating groups of the hollow circular pipes according to the concentric telescopic arrangement and the radial telescopic arrangement, wherein the groups specify which of the hollow circular pipes will be arranged within each other concentrically and which of the hollow circular pipes will be arranged within each other radially, and wherein the groups define the optimal telescopic arrangement;
• and
• outputting results of loading the container according to the optimal telescopic arrangement.
