Electromagnetic particle simulations of equatorial self-magnetic-field-enhanced ion diodes have been performed. These simulations complement recent experiments on the particle beam fusion accelerator using the pinch ion diode (pid) and the Obi diode. Those experiments are detailed in a companion paper. The simulations have provided useful information concerning the operation of the diode. This paper will describe many of the simulation findings in such areas as current and charge neutralization, virtual cathode formation, diode impedance, ion divergence, and electron temperatures. In addition, a model for ion efficiency has been obtained that is based upon the simulation results. This model is compared to various other efficiency models.
