![Laminations such as these are compiled to form the core of modern electric vehicle motors. ORNL has developed a software toolkit to speed the development of new motor designs and to improve the accuracy of their real-world performance.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-02/Motors_OeRSTED_0.jpg?h=af53702d&itok=mT24R4WI)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have created open source software that scales up analysis of motor designs to run on the fastest computers available, including those accessible to outside users at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.
