We outline the steps needed in to calibrate the Monte Carlo code in order to perform large scale simulations of real globular clusters. We calibrate the results against N-body simulations for N = 2500, 10000 and for the old open cluster M67. The calibration is done by choosing appropriate free code parameters.
