Abstract：
Micromegas (MICRO MEsh GAseous Structure) is a position-sensitive gaseous
detector. It is widely used in particle physics. We present the results of full 3D Monte Carlo simulations of Micromegas performance, taking into account all the processes from the primary ionization, the elctron collection efficiency, and the gain to the signal formation. The simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data.
