Can I export all LCIA results from the "contribution tree" tab for all impact categories in one step?

Question

Hi everyone,

Currently, we can only export the contribution tree for one impact category at a time from the contribution tree tab, which requires repeating the process for each category. I’d like to know if there’s a way to export LCIA results for all impact categories from the contribution tree tab in a single step.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi everyone.

I'd like to revisit this crucial question (especially for design offices specializing in eco-design that want to migrate from Sima Pro to OpenLCA): how can I easily export a matrix with:

- in rows: the calculated impacts (e.g., climate change, eutrophication, etc.)

- in columns: the processes entered and used in the modeling (e.g., xx kW of electricity, xx km of transport, xx kg of PVC, etc.)?

Visualizing this matrix is ​​essential because it allows for the rapid identification of the most impactful processes for each impact category.

What is the fastest way to obtain this visualization?

Many thanks for your feedback.

thank you - can you post a picture of what you mean maybe? Edit your question to do so. Of course, in a unit process life cycle, you have also other processes contributing than the ones "used" (entered) by the user. Maybe you are looking for the Sankey diagram? I am not aware how SimaPro does that for a process across all impact categories.

great point. i comment only in order to follow any answer

Hi Fernando,

There is no way to do it at the moment.

If this is something that you really need, you can email us.
