Such schemes can place strict requirements on the accelerator beam properties as well as the relative alignment of the beam in the FEL radiators and modulators. Beam-based alignment (BBA) of the FEL section is therefore an operational requirement for all advanced FEL facilities. In this paper we demonstrate results of CLARA BBA simulations, and also report initial simulation results from the use of non-linear algorithms to optimise the FEL performance directly.
