Popis: This paper presents the simulation studies with CALOR89 for the Reconfigurable-Stack calorimeter (Hanging Files) test beam measurements conducted at Fermilab during the period of September 91 to January 92. The purpose of this study is to validate the CALOR89 code against the experimental data and to enhance its reliability and predictive power, especially for the multi-segmented SDC calorimeters. The results of the simulation are compared with the measured e/π ratio, the electromagnetic and hadronic energy resolutions and the longitudinal shower profiles. These comparisons show that the CALOR89 can predict reasonably well the parameters for the scintillating plate calorimeters. We have also identified certain systematic effects in modeling the experimental configurations with CALOR89.
