• This paper presents the simulation of the GLAST high energy gamma-ray telescope. The simulation package, written in C++, is based on the Geant4 toolkit, and it is integrated into a general framework used to process events. A detailed simulation of the electronic signals inside silicon detectors has been provided and it is used for the particle tracking, which is handled by a dedicated software. A unique repository for the geometrical description of the detector has been realized using the XML language and a C++ library to access this information has been designed and implemented. A new event display based on the HepRep protocol is being implemented. The GLAST satellite parameters derived from the simulation are used in a fast simulator to obtain a "snapshot" of the gamma-ray sky. This paper outlines the contribution developed by the Italian GLAST software group.
