Using the transfert matrix formalism, a fast simulator for the transport of particles through beamlines has been written inside CP3 walls, from scratch. This talk presents the current status of the software, dedicated for LHC beamlines and the corresponding forward physics. We will present the simulation techniques and their actual implementation, and cross-check of the program output with the MAD-X simulator. Interesting overview of the beams as well as some physics results will also be given to the audience.
