The Bilbao Accelerator RFQ is aimed to accelerate a 75 mA proton beam from 75 keV to 3 MeV, while keeping the beam both transversely and longitudinally focused, and presenting a minimum emittance growth. We report on the current status of the project, mainly focusing on the Beam Dynamics aspects of the design. Several particle simulations are carried out with RFQSIM, GPT and TRACK codes, in order to study the particle transmission of the RFQ under several circumstances, such as different current levels, vane geometry changes due to thermal stress, and different input beam characteristics obtained by changing the LEBT operation settings.
