A novel technique combining a 3-corrector orbital bump and transverse-damper kicks was used for inducing the beam losses. MadX tracking simulations were an essential step for determining the spatial and angular beam loss distributions during the experiment. These were then used as input for further energy-deposition and quench-level calculations. In this paper the simulated beam-loss distributions for the respective time scales and experimental parameters are presented. Furthermore the sensitivity of the obtained loss-distributions to the variation of key input parameters, which were measured during the experiment, is discussed.
