  The design of the ESS proton linac was supported by the simulation code TraceWin, a closed-source commercial software for accurate multiparticle simulations. Conversely, the high-level physics applications used for beam commissioning and machine tuning rely on the Open XAL framework and its online model for fast envelope simulations. In this paper, we evaluate PyORBIT for both online modeling of the linac for machine commissioning and tuning as well as for more accurate offline simulations for beam-dynamics studies. We present the modifications done to the code to adapt it to this use case, namely porting the code to Python 3, adding an envelope tracker, and integrating with the EPICS control systems. Finally, we show the results of benchmarking PyORBIT against our current modeling tools.
