We examine the energy flow in a three-dimensional simulation of a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME is simulated using the Predictive Science Inc., MAS code. Various forms of energy are tracked as a function of time over the whole simulation volume as the eruption progresses. Current sheets are mapped to begin the process of locating the site of energy release for the simulated flare. We also calculate the response of the 6 EUV channels from the AIA telescopes on SDO during the simulated eruption.
