This paper gives an overview of the particle transport theory essentials, the basics of particle-material interaction simulation, physical quantities needed to simulate particle transport and interactions in materials, Monte Carlo simulation flow, response of additive detectors, statistical weights and other techniques to minimize statistical errors. Effects in materials under irradiation, materials response related to component lifetime and performance are considered with a focus on high-energy and high-power accelerator applications. Implementation of simulation of particle-material interactions in the modern Monte Carlo codes along with the code s main features and results of recent benchmarking are described.
