Hi, After accidentally hitting the new product system "ok" button without setting the cut-off criteria a few times I wonder if it is not possible to add a setting option for a "default value" that can be set by the user? A default of 0 is the worst possible choice if you have a big IO-DB. Killing th...

Oh, I just saw the description in the currency itself. It does say 2015 there. I don't know how I missed it. Sorry. It would still be good if it was specified somewhere in the documentation though. Furthermore information on which year the actual cost was collected would be highly valuable in order ...

Hi, I am using openLCA v1.5.0 and try to use multiple flow properties for custom created flows to make it possible to use different flow properties, such as dry substance, moisture content, mass and energy values of individual flows. Naturally these properties are not permanently fixed relative to e...

Thanks for clarifying. Now that I know I should stop looking I can proceed and add the necessary flows to construct the mass balance myself. I think you are right. I have not seen these properties in other software either. They would however be useful sometimes, as in my case. I believe people inter...

Hi, I am trying to keep track of mass and energy balances in my model using ecoinvent v3.3. I can however not find the exchange properties anywhere within the database imported to openLCA. I am particularly keen on carbon contents, dry mass, water content, water in wet mass and wet mass associated w...

In the list of global parameters in my process parameters tab there is an uncertainty field for the global parameters, but I can not find anywhere where the uncertainty data ...
