The accumulated observations of SOHO/LASCO/EIT, STEREO <strong>an</strong>d ACE showed that<br />

coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are often accomp<strong>an</strong>ied by EIT waves. When a CME<br />

propagates out to the heliosphere it evolves to <strong>an</strong> Interpl<strong>an</strong>etary Coronal Mass Ejection<br />

(ICME). We use a composite 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model to simulate the<br />

sequence features according to the May 12, 1997 event. This composite model consists of two<br />

regions; the 3D coronal model (Feng et al. 2007) which covers from the solar surface to 0.08<br />

AU (18 solar radii (Rs)) <strong>an</strong>d a fully 3D, time dependent compressible MHD model which<br />

covers from 0.08 AU to Earth <strong>an</strong>d beyond. The results to be presented include the<br />

following: (i) the initial equilibrium state of solar interpl<strong>an</strong>etary atmosphere, (ii) the evolution<br />

of 3D magnetic field configuration, (iii) CME induced shocks, <strong>an</strong>d (iv) the properties of<br />

ICME.
