  High-fidelity, PIC-based beam dynamics simulations are time and resource intensive. Consider a high dimensional search space, that is far too large to probe with such a high resolution simulation model. We demonstrate that a coarse sampling of the search space can produce surrogate models, which are accurate and fast to evaluate. In constructing the surrogate models, we use artificial neural networks [1] and multivariate polynomial chaos expansion [2]. The performance of both methods are demonstrated in a comparison with high-fidelity simulations, using OPAL, of the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator [3]. We claim that such surrogate models are good candidates for accurate on-line modeling of large, complex accelerator systems. We also address how to estimate the accuracy of the surrogate model and how to refine the surrogate model under changing machine conditions. [1] A. L.
