We present the results of numerical 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with radiative energy transfer of fine structure in a small sunspot of about 4 Mm width. The simulations show the development of filamentary structures and flow patterns that are, except for the lengths of the filaments, very similar to those observed. The filamentary structures consist of gaps with reduced field strength relative to their surroundings. Calculated synthetic images show dark cores like those seen in the observations; the dark cores are the result of a locally elevated tau = 1 surface. The magnetic field in these cores is weaker and more horizontal than for adjacent brighter structures, and the cores support a systematic outflow. Accompanying animations show the migration of the dark-cored structures toward the umbra, and fragments of magnetic flux that are carried away from the spot by a large-scale moat flow.'' We conclude that the simulations are in qualitative agreement with observed penumbra filamentary structures, Evershed flows, and moving magnetic features.
