Convert ILCD XML to ecospold for import into SimaPro

Question

Hi!

I do not know if this is the correct forum for this question but I will give it a try anyway.

I would like to be able to convert a process dataset from ILCD XML-format for importing to SimaPro using the OpenLCA format converter but I don't seem to make it work.

Does anybody know of a decent tutorial for this or would be able to make one?

I have been trying to search the web for answers or tips but they seem to be in short supply!

Thank you in advance!

The converter was not updated since about 4 years, it has a special "SimaPro EcoSpold" format to reflect that SimaPro does not fully follow the official EcoSpold1 format, if you use this it should work. You will lose quite some detail though from the ILCD format, starting from any parameters.
