Business and Industrial software Business and Industrial software cover a vast range of possibilities. Generally this type of software is highly specialised and often bespoke. Perhaps one of the most common examples of this type of software is:

CAD (Computer-aided Design) A type of application software used that assists engineers and architects in the design of their products. CAD applications have been developing and continually improving since the early 1970s. CAD applications may be 2D (eg AutoCAD) or 3D (eg SolidWorks)

Re-use of design components (from a library) Simple modification of design Validation of designs against legal specifications and standards Simulation of design without expense of producing a physical model Automatic output of materials list for production

CAD applications generate standard format files (eg Autodesk .DWG), which describe the 2D, or 3D model that has been created.
