Abstract
This paper integrates simulated annealing-based component packing, lay out and routing algorithms into a concurrent approach to product layou t optimization. The design of a heat pump is presented to compare the integrated method to the previous sequential layout-then-route approac h; results show a substantial improvement in route design with more or ganized component placements. The example is given in detail to provid e a test case for future research in this area.
