•Full-cascade TRIM simulations provide valid predictions of damage production.•Quick TRIM simulations generally underestimate damage energy in monoatomic targets.•Quick TRIM simulations are not valid for multi-elemental targets.•Overestimation of electronic stopping powers can significantly affect d...
