1/ Random generation in a box (without contact - without gravity).
2/ Radii expansion until one prescibed value of the confining pressure 
is reached
3/ Possibly : decreasing slowly the contact friction to densify the packing.

The packings obtained are homogeneous and isotropic, and you can choose 
the final porosity and the relative particle size distribution.
It is the only method I know that combine all those aspects.

  Hi, Bruno: 
  Thanks for your information!  Seems good. I guess your method is a dynamic way for packing.(?)  Generally dynamic approach will cost more time than purely geometric way. How long will it run a packing, like saying, for 10,000 spheres in 2D?  Also for 3D problem, the computation consumption will increase dramatically. We may have to consider this. Can you share your 2D packing code to me? Let's see if I can modify it into 3D. If it works I'll back the 3D code to you guys.
