A non-transitory machine-readable medium of a computing device storing an application for simulating the loading of an airframe. The application includes an airframe input module that receives an airframe file having a seat having a seat location and a bin having a bin location and a bin dimensions. The application further includes a passenger profile input module that receives a passenger profile file having a list of passenger profiles, a passenger selection module that selects a passenger from the list of passenger profiles and associates the passenger with the seat, a bag selection module that selects a bag profile from a bag profile file and associates it with the passenger, a bag placement module that simulates placing the bag into the bin based on the bin dimensions, bin location, and bag profile, and an output module that outputs and stores a simulation output associating the bag and the bin.
