Distributions of transverse energy, forward energy, and ${\mathit{dE}}_{\mathit{T}}$/dη from 60A GeV and 200A GeV ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{induced}$ and 200A GeV ${}_{}{}^{32}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{induced}$ nuclear collision with Al, Cu, Ag, and Au are calculated by a high energy nuclear collision model and compared to recent experimental data from the WA80 Collaboration at CERN. The high energy nuclear collision Monte Carlo model which is based on the concept of independent multiple nucleon-nucleon collisions, describes the experimental data at forward-rapidity and midrapidity well.
