The current final focus systems of linear colliders have been designed based on the local compensation scheme proposed by Raimondi and Seryi. However, there exist remaining aberrations that deteriorate the performance of the system. This paper develops a general algorithm for the optimization of beam lines based on the computation of the high orders of the transfer map using MAD-X and Polimorphic Tracking Code. The algorithm is applied to the CLIC beam delivery system.
