Abstract—
Numerical modeling of the interaction of giant planets and the planetesimal disk was carried out for the Nice model, in which the initial orbits of the planets are in resonant configurations. In addition to the standard Nice model, planetesimals in the planetary region were considered and the self-gravity of the planetesimal disk was taken into account. The dynamic evolution of planetary systems has been studied over time intervals on the order of the lifetime of the Solar System. Options have been found in which planetary systems are preserved over billions of years, the final orbits of the planets are close to modern orbits and distant trans-Neptunian objects exist.
