In an attempt to interpret the Magellanic Stream (Mathewson et al., 1974), a new tidal simulation for the triple system, the Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), has been performed to represent the past 1010yr, on relaxing a simplifying assumption of the bound state of the SMC with respect to the LMC for the whole 1010yr. The parameters for the SMC orbit at the present epoch are varied around those of the best fit orbit of a previous simulation (Murai and Fujimoto, 1980).
