Most efficient L beam packing in 21.06 × 7.02 × 7.02 cm space

[SNIPE]

Hi

What is the most efficient way to theoretically store an L beam in a given area, the more beams in that area the better, obvioustly this can't be done in real life but with a physics engine could maybe be calculated?

Note: Each beam can be at any rotation or any axis.

The area is 21.06 cm x 7.02 cm x 7.02 cm and the dimentions of a single beam is shown below.

Im not sure if this is a physics question, but am thinking it can be solved using physics?

Regards, Snipe

Sounds to me like a math problem a la tetris.

I agree with phinds that this more of a math-packaging problem. A physics simulation that "shakes a box" containing these pieces doesn't seem like the most efficient way.

PS: Is this a LEGO-Technic piece? If you are in charge of optimizing the LEGO boxes, keep in mind that they are big for marketing reasons.

Ok Ill ask on a maths forum

Thanks!

PS yeah its technic, I have hundres of them and getting tray storage is hard for what I need

Area? Or volume?
