Machine process for positioning interconnected components to minimize interconnecting line length

摘要: A machine process is disclosed in which components of an interconnected network are simultaneously repositioned and their interconnections reordered to minimize interconnecting line length. The repositioning reordering performed first on nets having two components, then three etc., until all have been processed. accordance with a formula allows large movement towards each other but prevents overshoot such components. In this way, the can be rapidly rearranged achieve efficient pattern.
