	The Fermilab Project X plan for future high intensity running relies on the Main Injector as the engine for delivering protons in the 60-120 GeV energy range. Project X plans call for increasing the number of protons per Main Injector bunch from the current value of 1.0× 10¹¹ to 3.0× 10¹¹. Space charge effects at the injection energy of 8 GeV have the potential to seriously disrupt operations. We report on ongoing simulations with Synergia, our multi-physics process accelerator modeling framework, to model space charge effects in the Main Injector combined with the effects of magnet fringe fields and apertures.
