There are programs which allow you to input desirable qualities (smell, color, density, /non/conductor, molecule mass, stereo orientation to name a few, very basic ones) and it will make computations and it will give you possible compounds.
Also software in chemistry can be used to simulate reactions and processes, which can take years to analyze with conventional methods(if at all possible), like folding protein chains.
