Abstract
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is designed to provide unprecedented luminosity and centre-of-mass energies. The physics reach and potential of the different FCC options e+e−, pp, ep, has been studied and published in dedicated Conceptual Design Reports (CDRs) at the end of 2018. Conceptual detector designs have been developed for such studies and tested with a mixture of fast and full simulations. The investigations for all options have been conducted using a common software framework called FCCSW. In this paper, after summarising the improvements implemented in FCCSW to achieve the results included in the CDRs, we will present the current development plans to support the continuation of the physics potential and detector concept optimisation studies in view of future strategic decisions, in particular for the electron-positron machine.

Summary
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a project designed to provide pp collisions at the largest centre-of-mass energy foreseeable, which is currently of the order of 100 TeV. A Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for the FCC project has been prepared end of 2018, and submitted as input to the 2019 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. In view of the CDR, a dedicated software framework called FCCSW has been developed and used to study the physics potential of the proposed collider. This paper reports on the status and evolution plans of FCCSW.
