  The Super-FRS is a superconducting fragment separator that will be built as part of the FAIR facility. For the slow-extraction part of the beam diagnostics system a total of 32 detectors are needed for the beam monitoring, tracking and characterization of the produced ions. GEM-TPC detectors are planned to be used for the diagnostics at slow extraction mode of the separator*,**. The detectors will be placed in focal planes along the separator. Simulations have been made to study the effects of the detector materials and geometries in order minimize their influence to the performance of the separator. Results of the optimization using different simulation tools will be presented.
