AUTODESK CONFIDENTIAL–FOR AUTODESK SALES AND CHANNEL PARTNERS ONLY. This document outlines questions and answers regarding the retirement of Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis and the migration of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Subscription customers to Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional 2014 1. What changes are being made to the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (RSA) portfolio? Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis software is being discontinued.

2. Why is Autodesk making this change? Following the technology acquisition on January 5, 2008, Autodesk introduced Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis software (RSA) as a lower-priced companion to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software (RSA Pro). At the time, RSA addressed the lower end of the market and served as a path to migrate legacy customers to Autodesk technology, which has now been completed. In addition, competitive factors have driven more users to the Pro version, and the Autodesk Structural Analysis 360 for Revit” service has driven more focus on RSA Pro as an advanced analysis tool. Discontinuing RSA also supports the strategy of driving towards Suites and Simulation 360. A further benefit to Autodesk will be reduced costs for development, maintenance, and operations.
