girders in the model
In the real machine, quadrupoles are arranged on girders (With a few exceptions) featuring a specific layout of diagnostics and correctors.
There is a finite number of girder types. We discussed whether one should capture this in the model.
The first step would be to write scripts to check that the element placement is indeed accurately captured.
diagnostic and corrector lengths
Currently we captured the diagnostics and correctors as zero length elements. For correctors, this location in the center of it, for the bpms, the location in that of the antennas (3 inches from end of can). There are benefits to actually model the true length of all of these elements. This is a significant undertaking and likely will have to be done
via scripting to post process the existing decks. It was felt that while it is useful, it is a medium to long term project.
