Abstract :
In order to operate large scale GW detection experiments, like the LIGO project, use of computer simulations of various kinds is crucial. In this presentation, two kinds of simulation tools used in the LIGO project are explained. One is a time domain simulation, which generates time series of various channels and is used to study nonstationary processes. Another is a static optics model, which calculates steady state fields in a given optical configuration and is used to study details of stationary processes.
