Dependent parameters - What are they?
Posted: 24 Aug 2016 22:57
As a beginner of openLCA usage I often read the user guides available and try to understand and test the application features.
Now I am creating a process of my experimental model (the model comprises several processes) and unexpectedly for me, I encountered a problem – I'm not sure I can define process parameters. According to the instructions given on "http://www.openlca.org/documentation/in ... s_settings" these should be "local" (for the same process) parameters, but in openLCA v. 1.4.2 there is not an option to defining local parameters. The command sequence for such task in v. 1.4.2 is different (from descriptions given in above source) and the editor accepts only global and "dependent" parameters. Surching in the help resources I could not find a definition for "dependent" parameter. Maybe the term "dependent" is a substitution of "local" but maybe that's not true.
So I wonder where the "local paremeters" have gone and do they exist in openLCA 1.4.2 (+ v.1.5) at all?. And, please, explain the function and usage of the "dependent" parameter.
Thanks in advance.
