Steps to simulate polarimetric imaging of a generally off-axis source in the presence of polarization aberrations through the GSMTs is described here. As a first step, we simulate the segment-to-segment coating variation to be a sum of the piston, tilt, and focus terms of the Zernike polynomials. We then perform the PRT using Poke to estimate Jones pupils for all three telescopes. The Jones pupils and the corresponding low- order polarization aberration terms that are fit to these Jones pupils are available in Anche et al. (2023b). The Jones pupils are propagated through the perfect coronagraphs to calculate the residuals and the peak raw contrast. The Jones pupils are further used to estimate the Amplitude Response Matrix and Mueller Point Response Matrix for use in extended scene simulation.
