The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) is one of the on-board instruments on the ASTRO-F satellite, which will be launched in early 2004. The first a half year of its mission period of 500 days is dedicated to an all sky survey in four bands between 50 and 200 micron. On the basis of the present hardware specifications and configurations of the FIS, we have written a computer program to simulate the FIS. The program can be used to evaluate the performance of the instrument as well as to produce input for the data reduction system. In this paper, we describe the current status of the program. As an example of the usage of the simulation program, we present the expected observing data for three different detector sampling rates. The functions which should be implemented into the program, in the future, are enumerated.
