Downloaded .zolca file is not getting imported in new database

Question

Hello,

I am new learner in LCA. 

Please correct or resolve my query

>Created new Database from scratch say- IN02

>Downloaded zolca file version openlca_lcia_methods_1_5_7_updatedCED.zolca

>Imported above .zolca file in new database "IN02"

Considering above steps I was suppose to get processes list in processes option but it did not change. It remains empty. 

Can anyone please clear it?

Answer 1

Hi, two things:

1, it is better to just make the database from the zolca file (as zolca is a compressed database) instead of importing zolca into a newly created empty database

2, the LCIA methods are LCIA methods (!) and do not contain processes.

Best wishes,

Andreas
