Abstract
The building blocks of a scientific facility based on particle beams comprise magnets and electro-magnetic devices. The design of an overall accelerator usually imposes a demanding accuracy on their exact position and orientation. Their non-geometrical functional features are frequently either not clearly defined – what is the « magnetic axis » of a magnet –, or not explicitly used along their lifecycle. Improving the process to establish and use these functional features would contribute to meeting demanding challenges. The European Spallation Source (ESS) is aiming at providing a powerful proton linear accelerator and a target system to produce pulsed neutrons. The challenging complex design and integration yielded to introducing a tool for all stakeholders along the lifecycle: the "situation features", as defined in ISO GPS (Geometrical Product Specifications) standards. This paper deals with the beyond-mechanics non-geometrical use cases and generalizes the use of the association operation to theoretically exact features. The examples of the functional specification, fiducialization (measure of the real features with respect to external marks) and installation phases of quadrupole magnets is developed. Perspectives of generic use are highlighted.
