A method is presented to simulate the transport of a dc charged particle beam strongly influenced by its self-fields. If the initial phase space of the beam is chosen to be a Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij distribution, the simulation is in agreement with the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij envelope equations. The simulation was initialized with a Gaussian transverse momentum distribution to investigate the origin of current profiles measured in a 130 keV, 635 mA plasma-focused electron beam.
