This paper gives a status of the AGS model in the ray-tracing code Zgoubi and its operation via the ‘‘AgsZgoubiModel'' and the ‘‘AgsModelViewer'' applications available from the controls system application launcher, ‘‘StartUp''. Examples of typical uses and studies performed using these are included, as optics controls, spin matching to RHIC, etc. A companion paper (MOPWA085) gives additional details, regarding especially spin dynamics and polarization studies aimed at determining optimal AGS settings for polarization during RHIC Run 13. This work is an additional step towards further combination with the already existing RHIC spin tracking model in Zgoubi, and AGS's Booster model in Zgoubi, a promising suite for detailed beam and spin dynamics studies and optimizations.
