Sumario:A review of the strategy and the results for the physics validation of Geant4 and Fluka detector simulation engines for LHC applications is presented. The main focus is on hadronic physics, where most of the efforts are currently concentrated. In particular, comparisons between simulation and test-beam data for the most relevant calorimeter observables, for different experiments and detector technologies, are discussed.
