Scientific paper

The INTEGRAL Mass Model (TIMM) was started in 1995 and aimed to create a detailed geometrical model of the whole INTEGRAL experiment on computer. In parallel, a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation code is under development (GGOD). The mass model and the MC code together will enable the operation of INTEGRAL in orbit to be simulated, at individual event level. This TIMM can be used to provide an independent evaluation of the performance of the individual instruments, to study the interference and complementarity between instruments, to generate test data for software development, and as a powerful tool for post-launch diagnosis. In this paper the current status of TIMM and the major MC simulation results on the instrument performance are reported.
