[Question]: What are the files in the LHC accelerator class used for? #459

Question

I was wondering what we use the files in the LHC accelerator class for. I cannot find their use in the code.

e.g.

omc3/model/accelerators/lhc/2022/beam1bpms.tfs
omc3/model/accelerators/lhc/2022/beam2bpms.tfs
omc3/model/accelerators/lhc/2022/main.seq

This seems to be a remnant of BetaBeat.src as the same files can be found there.

Seems like it was used in the get_segment method to figure out the BPMs. Might be relevant for SbS when we implement it in omc3, but maybe it's better to just get these from the used model?
