Correct predictions of secondary particles generated in proton-nucleus interactions below a few tens of MeV is required for radiation studies for front-end of many proton accelerators, energy deposition studies for detectors, radiation damage calculations. Cascade models of various flavors fail to properly describe this energy region. Therefore, we opted to use the existing TENDL library provided in the ENDF/B format in the energy range from 1 to 200 MeV. A much more time-consuming approach utilized in a modified code ALICE was also looked at. For both the options, the energy and angle distributions of all secondary particles are described with the Kalbach-Mann systematics. The following secondaries are taken into account: gammas, nucleons, deuterons, tritons, He-3, He-4 and all generated residual nuclei. Comparisons with experimental data for both the options are presented. The corresponding software is written in C++. Initialization of required evaluated data is performed dynamically whenever the modeling code encounters a nuclide not accounted for yet. It enables us to significantly reduce the amount of requested memory for extended systems with large number of materials.
