Excel file from product system calculation export too heavy

Question

Hello everyone,

I have created a product system with the following features :

 - Database : ecoinvent 38_cutoff_regio_3011_with methods

 - production system

 - 4 input flows and 2 output flows in addition with the reference output flows

 - Providers : All the providers are of unit systems (no process systems available for the flows I am interested in)

 - Preferred process type (for product system creation) : system process

But when I want to export the full analysis results to Excel, the Excel file exceeds 400Mo! Of course I cannot open it.

Does anyone have a idea to explain that?

Could it be linked to the fact that, when I perform, on the same product system, a quick analysis, the Excel file extracted has an acceptable size, but on the process impact contribution tab, I have all the elementary flows contributions, and not the input and output flows of my product sytem contribution.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help,

A. Carre

Answer 1

This excel file contains all the contributions of all flows and processes to the results, so not only only view as in the result editor but all views, so to say. You should be able to open it with a reasonably modern computer.

Best wishes,

Andreas
