Over the past few decades global simulations have emerged as a valuable new tool to study the magnetosphere–ionosphere–thermosphere system, to the point where some of them are considered community models available for runs on demand by the community at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). Most leading global models are still based on the conventional and well-established MHD approximation; they are remarkably successful reproducing the major features and processes in geospace. Here, we briefly review the purpose and utility of such models, their history, their basic structure, the need for submodels of the ionosphere–thermosphere system and the inner magnetosphere, as well as inherent model limitations. The major computational and numerical constraints are discussed and recent simulations addressing plasma injections and sawtooth oscillations are presented.
