Characterization: Result per flow and LCIA category?

Post by Michela_Gioacchini » 03 Aug 2010 17:25

Hello, I'm a student and I'm working with OpenLCA for my thesis.
I have imported ELCD to work, waiting for the company to buy Ecoinvent, and I have created an IPCC Method, from a demo version of Simapro'.
I have the need to see the characterisation of the single flows in kg CO2 equiv., according to my LCIA Method; while the software make me see just the inventory (substances in kg, MJ...), the GWP of a process, the GWP of the entire product system.
I need to see which flows (input and output) have a bigger impact within a process.
Another problem: I cannot find the "Sankey Diagram" option! In the product system I have just the tabs "General Information", "Graph" and "Parameters".

Can you help me?
Thank you!

Hi Michela,
I edited your title slightly to make it a bit clearer - if I understand correctly, you ask whether you can see results by LCIA category *and* by flow, here:
LCIA_and_flow.gif
LCIA_and_flow.gif (34.26 KiB) Viewed 4754 times
So, if it is possible to view results here per flow instead of per process. That is not possible at present, sorry. But we will consider it, I think it is a good suggestion.
Thanks, Andreas
