contents Numerical simulations were used to study signal formation in a Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) and in THGEM -based Thick-WELL (THWELL) and Resistive-Plate WELL (RPWELL) detectors. The signal shapes were simulated in mixtures of Argon and Neon with $5\%$ Methane under irradiation with soft x-rays and muons. Anode-induced raw signals were convoluted with the response functions of charge-sensitive and current-sensitive pre-amplifiers. The simulation toolkit was validated by the good agreement reached between the simulated and measured response, with different pre-amplifiers. It indicates that our simulations framework provides valid insight into the inherent complex dynamical processes of the various detectors.
