openLCA archived user forum

Hi,
I am curious about the difference between system process and unit process when modeling in openLCA. It was written in the manual that it depends on the database, but what it really means?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
Kind regards,
Norbert

Hi Norbert,
a system process is simply an aggregated life cycle result saved as a process; some databases mostly contain one sort of these processes, unit or system processes, but strictly speaking it does not depend on the database.
