We have carried out simulation study on the CALET (CALorimetric Electron Telescope) instrument, especially for heavy payload, to optimize the performance for electron measurement up to 10 TeV. The CALET for heavy payload consists of a sampling imaging calorimeter brought from the balloon-borne electron telescope with scintillating fibers (BETS) and a total absorption calorimeter with BGO log arrays. By the analysis of the simulated events, we have confirmed the performance of the CALET as follows. The proton rejection power is as much as 106 with the BGO thickness of 35 cm (32 r.l.). The energy resolution is estimated to be 30%/ E (GeV) and the incident angle is determined by the imaging with an angular resolution less than 1 deg.
