Sheets along length
max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e)))
Sheets across width
max(1,ceil((b-f)/(d-f)))
Total sheets
max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e)))*max(1,ceil((b-f)/(d-f)))
Sheet origins (m)
J([[i*(c-e),j*(d-f)] for j in range(max(1,ceil((b-f)/(d-f)))) for i in range(max(1,ceil((a-e)/(c-e))))])

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Unrotated regular rectangular mesh grid with specified laps; positive slab/sheet dimensions, 0≤lap<corresponding sheet dimension. Sheet edges may overhang and need cutting; no reinforcement adequacy. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
