The Hefei Advanced Light Facility (HALF) will be a VUV and soft X-ray diffraction-limited storage ring (DLSR), and its high density of electron bunches makes the intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect very serious. In this paper, an IBS module used in the IMPACT code is developed, where the scattering process of IBS is described by the Piwinski model in Monte Carlo sampling. For benchmarking, the IMPACT code with IBS module is compared with the ELEGANT code and a semi-analytic code using Bane's model. Then, the results of IBS effect in the HALF storage ring studied by this new code are presented. With various countermeasures, the IBS impact can be controlled to a certain extent, and the expected beam emittance is approximately 59 pm.rad.
