Packing is a complex phenomenon of prominence in many natural and industrial processes (liquid crystals, granular materials, infiltration, melting, flow, sintering, segregation, sedimentation, compaction, etc.). A variety of computational methods is available in particular for spheroid particles. Our aim is to develop strategies devised to fill free space in 3D by random hard blocks of varying size and orientation in order to reproduce the observed arrangement of graphitic assemblies into polymeric matrices. Random packing is improved by applying an external pressure implemented with a drifted diffusive motion of the fillers. Attention is also paid to the emergence of structural and orientational order. Interestingly, mixtures of fillers of irregular shapes can be dealt with efficiently using the proposed algorithm.
