Abstract
Within the VIRGO experiment we are developing a simulation program pro viding an accurate description of the interferometric antenna behaviou r, taking into account all sources of noise. Besides its future use as a tool for data analysis and for the commissioning of the apparatus, the simulation helps finalizing the design of the detector. Emphasis i s put at the present time on the study of the stability of optical com ponents implied in the global feedback control system of the interfero meter.
