Abstract We describe the general features of a new numerical simulation of planetesimal accretion which models multiple heliocentric distance zones together with a detailed model for the planetesimal size and orbital distribution in each zone. A restricted version of this model which allows only a single heliocentric distance zone has been used to test the validity of the code by comparing with results from earlier authors when the same physical phenomena are included. Generally, very good agreement is found.
