Hi,
I hope you are doing very well. I have a question regarding the inventories and categories in openLCA. The inventory calculations were done in Simapro and they were provided to proceed with the modeling. the problem is that from the CSV file in Simapro, all the categories are as resource flows with a certain amount of value. But, when we import the CSV file into the openLCA, flows are subcategorized into resource and elementary flow. for example, one chemical, such as Graphite, is a flow in resources in the ground and also under elementary flow with a defined with defined characterisation factor; the characterisation factor under the resources for different impact categories doesn't have values. For the same chemical , for input inventories, the software will take the value under the elementary flow, even though in csv file it is a resource with a characterization factor. then we have no impacts because we don't have CF. what can we do to solve this problem? is there any way to integrate and merge these flows? can you please guide through this problem.
thank you very much for the consideration,
Regards
