The laser assisted hydrogen stripping becomes a widely discussed alternative for the existing stripping foil approach. The simulation tool for this new approach is presented. The created application is implemented in form of extension module to the Python ORBIT parallel code that is under development at the SNS. The physical model of the application deals with quantum theory and allows calculating evolution and ionization of hydrogen atoms and ions affected by superposition of electromagnetic and laser fields. The algorithm, structure, benchmark cases, and results of simulations for several future and existing accelerators are discussed.
