Semiclassical simulation of finite nuclei, readily available for nuclear collisions, is presented by employing the classical equation of motion approach in conjunction with a nuclear structure model, the isomorphic shell model, previously and independently published. Emphasis is put on good approximation of the main nuclear properties and their preservation during the evolution of the simulation for times much longer than a typical reaction time.
