AB: Currently flare models include heating due to non-thermal particle collisions as analytical, and often static, inputs to numerical hydrodynamics codes. While this has aided in our understanding of flare dynamics, it does not adequately represent the complexity of the interaction between thermal and non-thermal particles in a flaring region and cannot completely describe multi-wavelength observations of solar flares. In order to improve the current state-of-the-art flare simulations, we are combining thermal and stochastic non-thermal numerical modeling codes in order to simulate flare emission under a variety of theoretical and realistic solar conditions. The theoretical flare emission is then folded through the response functions of solar observatories in order to provide theoretical data that can be compared to observational results. This provides a means to test multiple flare models with observed flare behavior. This work was supported by NASA grant NAG5-12820
