The Superconducting DArmstädter LINear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) installed at the institute of nuclear physics (IKP) at TU Darmstadt is designed as a recirculating linear accelerator. The beam is first accelerated up to 10 MeV in the injector beam line. Then it is deflected by 180 degrees into the main linac. The linac section with eight superconducting cavities is passed up to three times, providing a maximal energy gain of 40 MeV on each passage. Due to this recirculating layout it is complicated to find an accurate setup for the various beam line elements. Fast online beam dynamics simulations can advantageously assist the operators because they provide a more detailed insight into the actual machine status. In this contribution further developments of the moment based simulation tool V-Code which enables to simulate recirculating machines are presented together with simulation results. *This work is supported by DFG through SFB 634.
