For the simulation of high-brightness electron bunches, a new 3D space-charge model is being implemented in the General Particle Tracer (GPT) code. It is based on a non-equidistant multigrid solver, allowing smooth transitions from a high to a low-aspect ratio bunch during a single run. The algorithm scales linearly in CPU time with the number of particles and the insensitivity to aspect ratio ensures that it can be used for a variety of applications. Tracking examples and field comparisons with an analytical model will be shown.
