The S-PLUS Fornax project (S+FP) aims at studying the Fornax galaxycluster using photometric data in 12 opticalbands. As a part of that project, this work presents the first stepstowards a comprehensive comparison between the properties ofsimulated galaxy clusters and the observed characteristics of Fornax.Our final goal is proposing possible formation scenarios for theFornax cluster. Specifically, we present the analysis of Fornax-likecandidates extracted from state-of-the-art cosmological numericalsimulations (e.g. ILLUSTRIS-TNG and EAGLE simulations), selectingthem according to observed features in the Fornax cluster. Thespectral energy distribution of galaxies in our simulated clusterswere computed and used to estimate photometric parameters that can bedirectly compared with observations in the 12 optical bands ofS-PLUS. Also, data cubes with surface brightnesses in those bands andsynthetic images of the simulated galaxies were generated, in orderto carry out an initial comparison with Fornax galaxies.
