The detailed simulation of the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) provides the performance characteristics of MRPCs with different numbers of gas gaps and gap thicknesses. This helps in optimizing the structure of MRPCs under specific conditions by balancing time resolution, detection efficiency, and other performance metrics. To obtain the optimal structure of MRPCs for 0.511 MeV gammas, a complete simulation framework for gamma detection by the MRPCs based on Geant4 and Magboltz software is described in this paper. The simulation shows how gammas interact with MRPCs and the process of gas ionization, avalanche multiplication, and signal formation. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. By analyzing the time resolution and detection efficiency, the optimal structure of MRPCs for 0.511 MeV gammas is proposed.
