Vacuum simulation is associated with the prediction and calculation of how materials, pumps and systems will perform using mathematical equations. In this investigation, three different high vacuum systems were simulated and estimated with each vacuum characteristics by VacTran simulator. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of gas loads into vessel, combination of rough and high vacuum pumps and dimension of conductance elements were proposed as system variables. In pump station model, the pumping speed to pressures by the combination of root pump was analyzed under the variations of vessel volume. In this study, the effects of outgassing dependent on vessel materials was also simulated and aluminum vessel was estimated to optimum materials. It was obtained from the modelling with diffusion pump that the diameter, length of 50×250[􀝉􀝉] roughing line was characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E- 7[torr]. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacTran simulator. Feasibility of VacTran as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacTran in high tech process expected to be increased.
