Abaqus 6.13, Isight/SEE 5.8 and SIMULIA V6 R2014 will be released this summer and there are some important changes to the support of Windows-based computers as we focus on the more recent 64-bit versions of Windows. The following platform and operating systems will therefore no longer be supported:

Platform discontinued:

• Windows 32-bit

Operating systems discontinued:

• Windows-XP
• Windows Vista operating system

We will, of course, continue to support Abaqus 6.12, Isight 5.7 and SIMULIA V6 R2013x products on these platforms for their lifecycle (see http://www.3ds.com/support/support-policies/lifecycle-policy/ for details).
