In this work a numerically simulated sunspot embedded in a realistic model of solar magnetoconvection is analyzed using time-distance technique of local helioseismology. The purpose of this study is to improve our understanding of travel-time shifts measured in sunspots. We use the oscillation data obtained from the simulations for measurements of p-modes travel-time shifts by applying the time-distance helioseismology technique. The measurements are carried out for several distances permitted by the depth of the simulation box, with and without use of phase-speed filters. The phase-speed filtering procedure improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the travel-time measurements for short distances, but it may also introduce a bias in the travel-time shifts. We discuss the interior properties of the sunspot inferred from our measurements. The data for this work is kindly provided by Matthias Rempel (HAO/NCAR).
