This should identify the kind of application that uses this media type;
for a vnd type listing individual applications seems fine, but there
should be some categorization like "music composition", "3D modeling",
"video compression", "cartography".

>Intended usage: COMMON

This seems more like LIMITED USE.

Would describing them collectively as "CAE - electromagnetic simulation" work?

And yes, I wasn't sure here, the RFC is not particularly clear on the usage 
choices. LIMITED USE is fine by me.

I don't know the software, but if "electromagnetic simulation" is fine
then just that would do as far as I am concerned (including "CAE" would
require an expansion, I assume it's for "Computer-aided engineering" but
that is unclear for the uninitiated).
