Controlled self-modulation of long proton or electron beams is a new trend in plasma wakefield acceleration which sets a new goal for simulation codes. Long interaction lengths (tens of meters), long beams (up to hundred of plasma wave periods), motion of plasma ions, and violation of fluid approximation are factors that makes the problem too heavy for general purpose codes. Only specialized codes can attack this problem in real geometry. We describe recent upgrades of the code LCODE which enabled simulations of long dense proton beams and report results of numerical studies of proton beam-plasma interaction in the context of AWAKE project.
