By using the tungsten as passive element and the Glass Resistive Plate Chambers (GRPCs) as active element, the gaseous hadronic calorimeter is studied as a possible detector for the future International Linear Collider (ILC). The results of the numerical study, using the GEANT4 simulation package, of the performance of this calorimeter when it is exposed to a negative pion beam in an energy range from 5 GeV to 100 GeV are presented in this paper. Operating characteristics of this prototype, such as signal linearity, energy resolution and reconstructed energy have been simulated and examined. Moreover, a comparison between the Digital Hadron Calorimeter (DHCAL) and the Analog Hadron Calorimeter (AHCAL) is made.
