abstract = {{The simulation codes Elegant* and Accelerator Toolbox (AT)** are both in common use for the study of particle accelerators and light sources. They use different software platforms and have different capabilities, so there is a strong motivation to be able to switch from one version to another to achieve different goals. In addition, it is useful to directly compare results for benchmarking studies. We discuss differences in tracking methods and results for various elements, and explore the impact on simulations performed with lattices designed for the ALS-U. In addition to single-particle tracking, global properties such as chromaticity, dynamics aperture, momentum aperture and beam lifetime are also investigated. We have also developed scripts to translate AT lattices into elegant lattice files to facilitate comparisons.}},
