Re:Heavy-lift ship lifts entire cruise liner out of the wate... by phkahler on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @08:30AM (#21513886)
I'm sure a lot of software was used in the design and production of the ship. CAD, FEA, CFD, and then all the logistics, and financial planning...

Iteration happens in mechanical designs too, but a lot of that is done virtually before physical parts are made. In software there is no distinction between virtual code and real code. We make a somewhat artificial distinction by having official releases that have hopefully gone through more testing.
