How to generate a material list for product system

Hi,

I´m doing a criticality analysis over the material composition of a complex electric product.
I want to focus on abiotic resources.
To get a list of the relevant materials for my dataset, I currently export the inventory results, sort it after categories and delete all entries except for "in ground"-items.
Up to then its an extensive manual process...

Is there an easier possibility to get such a list in openLCA?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you could create an impact category if you are aware which flows / materials are relevant for your analysis, then you could see the result for this category but also, in the analysis, the contribution of flows to the category results. And you could export the entire analysis result to excel for example.
I hope this helps?
Best wishes,
Andreas
