	Funding: Supported by the US Dept. of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, and by the US Dept. of Defense, Office of Naval Research and the Joint Technology Office. The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a low-energy scaled facility for the study of intense beam dynamics, relevant to higher energy, high intensity accelerators. Many parameters crucial to understanding space charge dominated beam evolution, such as transverse emittance and longitudinal temperature, require the use of turn-by-turn interceptive diagnostics. To meet this need, we plan to implement an extraction section with a fast-pulsed electric-field kicker. This paper presents a suite of simulations used to guide the design process and predict extraction performance, using the WARP Particle-in-cell (PIC) code. Simulations in a transverse slice geometry predict beam trajectory and monitor beam evolution through extraction. After isolating a design based on centroid tracking, extraction acceptance is probed and an analysis proposed to estimate the error tolerances of the new ring elements.
