set of spheres

Bye to all,
I have to realize with solidworks a set or a solid of a certain volume that is constituted by other solids all equal, in my case from spheres of diameter 0.3 mm, to understand us having for example a cube 20x20x20 I need to fill the said cube with spheres ø0.3mm, the solid that I will fill up will be a little more complex than a cube so they are not enough linear or circular repetitions, unfortunately I know not to go My solid in substance will have to contain the largest number of spheres that can contain obviously without interference.
I ask your help.
 
is not a feasible thing with no existing function.
even a simple cube can not make linear repetitions without first calculating the maximum amount obtainable for a row of balls considering the interlocks between one sphere and the other; in the subsequent files you must reconsider the recesses with the previous one.
 
automatically find nothing in the basic functions. I didn't know if it was possible to do it through a macro.
Perhaps, I repeat perhaps, greatly perhaps, you can get something by doing some sketchy repetitions.
draws a sketch per row by inserting a point for each ball position following the attached pattern.
repeat this until you can use a regular method, then enter them by hand

Thank you.
I had thought about it but the solid that I have to go to fill is a ball cap of 2 mm thickness, so it would be very sleek and expensive in terms of time also this procedure, I know that it is feasible, I look for the fastest method possible to do it.

the thickness is irrelevant for the intended purpose. the ideal would already make available the actual data perhaps accompanied by images or files.
If you have the skills, I don't have them, you can create through excel a set of points to import into a 3d sketch and use it for repetition.
 
I have no idea how it can be done with sw, in theory the spheres should spread on the top of a tetrahedron, I attach an example of repeats according to xyz.pack.webp

I do not think that solidworks is the suitable software, proof blender(free) there are many examples/tutorial.. .very intuitive and fast.
