	The tracking code PLACET simulates beam transport and orbit corrections in linear accelerators. It incorporates single- and multi-bunch effects, static and dynamic imperfections. It has an interface based on both Tcl/Tk and Octave to provide maximum flexibility and easy programming of complex scenarios. Recently, new functionality has been added to expand its simulation and tuning capabilities, such as: tools to perform beam-based alignment of non-linear optical systems, possibility to track through the interaction region in presence of external magnetic fields (detector solenoid), higher order imperfections in magnets, better tools for integrated feedback loops. Moreover, self contained frameworks have been created to ease the simulation of CLIC Drive Beam, CLIC Main Beam, and other existing electron machines such as CTF3 and FACET.

	The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) accelerator has strong stability requirements on the position of the beam. In particular, the beam position will be sensitive to ground motion. A number of mitigation techniques have been proposed - quadrupole stabilization and positioning, final doublet stabilization as well as beam based orbit and interaction point (IP) feedback. Integrated studies of the impact of ground motion on the CLIC Main Linac (ML) and Beam Delivery System (BDS) that model the latest hardware designs have been performed. Furthermore, additional imperfections have been introduced and the robustness of this system is discussed in detail. The possibility of using ground motion measurements as an alternative to the quadrupole stabilization is investigated.
