Abstract •A matheuristic for packing a huge number of ellipsoids is introduced.•The flexibility of the approach allows considering a variety of constraints.•The computational cost scales linearly with the number of ellipsoids being packed. The problem of packing ellipsoids in the three-dimensional space is considered in the present work. The proposed approach combines heuristic techniques with the resolution of recently introduced nonlinear programming models in order to construct solutions with a large number of ellipsoids. The introduced approach is able to pack identical and non-identical ellipsoids within a variety of containers. Moreover, it allows the inclusion of additional positioning constraints. This fact makes the proposed approach suitable for constructing large-scale solutions with specific positioning constraints in which density may not be the main issue. Numerical experiments illustrate that the introduced approach delivers good quality solutions with a computational cost that scales linearly with the number of ellipsoids; and solutions with more than a million ellipsoids are exhibited.
