  The optimization of the Multiturn Injection (MTI) from the UNILAC into the SIS18 is crucial in order to reach the FAIR beam intensities required for heavy ions. In order to achieve the design intensities, the efficiency of the multiturn injection from the UNILAC has to be optimized for high beam currents. We developed a simulation model for the MTI including the closed orbit bump, lattice errors, the parameters of the injected UNILAC beam, the position of the septum and other aperture limiting components, and finally the space charge force and other high-intensity effects. The model is also used to estimate the required proton and heavy-ion beam emittances from the UNILAC and from the projected p-linac. For the accurate prediction of the MTI efficiency a careful validation of the simulation model is necessary. We will present first results of the comparison between experiments and simulation for low and high uranium beam currents.
