A global simulation code; GNET (Global NEoclassical Transport simulation), has been developed for the analysis of suprathermal electron transport in non-axisymmetric configurations[1]. In this code the drift kinetic equation is solved in 5D phase-space and the steady state distribution of energetic particles is evaluated to clarify the suprathermal electron transport driven by ECH. Recently, the GNET code is applied to the analysis of ICRF heating modeling the wave-particle interaction by Monte Carlo method. The amplitude of RF wave field is estimated by the full wave code; TASK/WM. In this paper we describe the modeling assumed in the simulation and show the recent results by GNET code.
