CAM software creates a machining program that executes wire electrical discharge machining under appropriate machining conditions even when the actual arrangement state is unknown at the time of creating the machining program. The CAM software causes a computer to create a machining program for a wire electrical discharge machine to machine a workpiece. The computer is connected to a database that stores a correspondence between setting conditions of the wire electrical discharge machine and the workpiece, and machining conditions suitable for the setting conditions, and the computer performs a first procedure of selecting a plurality of different setting conditions, a second procedure of retrieving machining conditions corresponding to the selected setting conditions, from the database, and a third procedure of creating the machining program that designates one of the machining conditions retrieved in the second procedure, with respect to each of the setting conditions selected in the first procedure.
