The Advanced Cosmic-ray Composition Experiment for the Space Station (ACCESS) is baselined with an ionization calorimeter for high-energy cosmic ray composition measurements. We have developed GEANT-based simulation models of the instrument to study its performance. The original GEANT code was developed primarily for accelerator colliding proton beam experiments, and doesn't handle incident nuclei heavier than protons. To study the detector response to Z > 1 cosmic rays, we thus had to develop a separate code for heavy ion interactions and fragmentation, to be interfaced with GEANT. Below we present results of our simulations of the ACCESS baseline calorimeter response to heavy ions.
