A system to run Monte Carlo simulations on a Grid environment is presented. The architectural design proposed uses the current resources of the MAGIC Virtual Organization on EGEE and can be easily generalized to support the simulation of any similar experiment, such as that of the future European planned project, the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The proposed system is based on a Client/Server architecture, and provides the user with a single access point to the simulation environment through a remote graphical user interface, the Client. The Client can be accessed via web browser, using web service technology, with no additional software installation on the user side required. The Server processes the user request and uses a database for both data catalogue and job management inside the Grid. The design, first production tests and lessons learned from the system will be discussed here.
