	This paper presents an efficient method to automatically generate and mesh random non–periodic three dimensional (3D) microstructures for three classes of complex heterogeneous media having a wide range of important engineering applications,&amp;nbsp;porous media, composites with&amp;nbsp;interfacial debonding&amp;nbsp;and composites with high density particles. The resulting 3D microstructure is intentionally constructed to be easily and efficiently implemented in standard finite element computational codes. Several examples of 3D&amp;nbsp;representative volume elements&amp;nbsp;are shown. The performance of the proposal in&amp;nbsp;finite element analysis&amp;nbsp;is demonstrated in numerical implementation to predict the effective non–linear elastic–plastic response of two–phase&amp;nbsp;particulate composites&amp;nbsp;reinforced with spherical particles. The main result achieved is the estimation of the effective plastic&amp;nbsp;tangent modulus&amp;nbsp;by a simple linear&amp;nbsp;regression equation&amp;nbsp;for different volume fractions.
