       <abstract>
          As the e-linac and ARIEL facilities at TRIUMF progress, the impending complexity of operating three simultaneous rare ion beams (RIBs) approaches. To help prepare for this, a framework for the development of High Level Applications has been constucted, upon which multiple avenues for improvement towards model-based and automated tuning are being pursued. Along one of these avenues, the 40-cavity superconducting ISAC-II heavy ion linac has been studied and modelled in the envelope code transoptr. This has allowed for real-time integration through the on-axis fields, fitting focal strengths of solenoids to achieve desired beam waists, and calculation of necessary cavity phases to achieve a desired output energy for given input beam parameters. Initial tests have been completed, successfully phasing up to 37 cavities using the transoptr model and achieving a final output energy within 1% of the expected while maintaining nominal (&gt;90%) transmission. A summary of the calibration of the model to the machine is given, followed by results of the phasing tests and an outlook towards future improvements.
