The AD-ELENA complex decelerates antiprotons to ener- gies of 100 keV before transport to experiments through elec- trostatic transfer lines. Transfer line optics are traditionally designed from a lattice based approach and are unaffected by external effects. Presented is a method of rapidly proto- typing MAD-X simulations into G4Beamline models which propagate particles via electromagnetic fields rather than idealised optical lattice parameters. The transfer line to the ALPHA experiment is simulated in this approach. Due to the presence of fringe fields disagreement is found between the two models. Using an error minimisation technique, revised quadrupole strengths are found which improve agreement by 30% without any manual adjustment., Proceedings of the 13th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand
