The IFMIF (International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility) project is being considered to build fusion material test facility. The IFMIF will use two accelerators to generate high energy neutrons. However, the IFMIF accelerators have been designed to have much higher beam power and beam current than the existing accelerators, so space charge effect is very strong. This raises big concerns about beam loss and beam transport stability, thus detailed high-intensity beam dynamics study of the IFMIF-like accelerators is indispensable. This research aims to perform source to target simulation of the IFMIF-like accelerator. The simulation has been carried out by two different kinds of simulation codes because the IFMIF accelerator has distinctive features. One is TRACEWIN simulation code which was used in IFMIF initial design. The other is WARP 3D PIC code which can precisely calculate space charge effects. This presentation will focus on beam simulations for LEBT, RFQ, and MEBT of the IFMIF accelerator
