Building Gate-to-Gate

Question

Hi all,

I'm new to OpenLCA and need to build my model in gate-to-gate system boundary.

Just to double-check: I would need to "ignore default providers" and yet still "auto-link the process" right? Is this the correct approach for gate-to-gate? Here's a screenshot of what I've done:

Would really appreciate if anyone could glance over this setup or share how they usually define system boundaries for gate-to-gate models in openLCA. Thank you in advance.

Best, 
Natasha

Welcome!  You can just try different options out and compare the resulting models. "gate to gate" can mean one process alone or a sequence and network of connected processes, so your initial question is not entirely clear. Default setting is connection and default procviders. If you do not want connections, then uncheck "auto-link".

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I really appreciate.
