We report on a comprehensive numerical simulation of flare dynamics, encompassing the corona, transition region and chromosphere. A coronal loop geometry, whose magnetic pressure dominates gas pressure, is assumed. These preliminary results assume optically thin radiation; we are currently incorporating optically thick radiative transfer in the chromosphere. We discuss difficulties in modelling the transition region under flare conditions, and suggest tentative solutions.
