At Airinnova, one of the tools used is the Vortex Lattice Method Tornado which is implemented in MATLAB. For the purposes of the AGILE project, the Tornado code was modernized to more modern architecture and to fit in the AGILE workflow. rnWork has been done to modernize the Tornado code by shifting core computations into a compiled executable coded in C, and a user interface coded in Python.rn
