CIRCE is an efficient beam dynamics code developed to facilitate the design and analysis of heavy-ion accelerators. The code combines an envelope description of the beam transverse dynamics with a fluid-like treatment of longitudinal dynamics, and terms are included to account for the effects of space charge, emittance, and image forces. CIRCE is currently being adapted to model the Induction Linac Systems Experiments (ILSE) facility, a proposed heavy-ion accelerator designed to test aspects of an inertial-fusion driver. The numerical model in the code is discussed, and changes needed for modeling ILSE are outlined. Preliminary work is presented on beam matching along the ILSE lattice and on transport around the ILSE achromatic bend.
