How can I choose an import option in SimaPro cloud edition?

Updated today

When importing data, on the Import details page you can select which nomenclature is used in the file. This means you can more easily import data from different versions of SimaPro into SimaPro cloud edition. Note that the nomenclature chosen only affects how substances are mapped, not products.


Please make sure to choose the libraries that you use in the new project, prior to importing data.


The following import options are available:

  • Professional 9.4 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro Professional 9.4 database (with ecoinvent 3.8)

  • SimaPro EF 3.1 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro Environment Footprint 3.1 database. Choose this option when doing PEF modelling or if the data originated from a SimaPro desktop database using the EF 3.1 libraries

  • Professional 9.5 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro Professional 9.5 database (with ecoinvent 3.9.1)

  • Professional 9.6 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro Professional 9.6 database – choose this option when importing data modelled using the SimaPro Professional 9.6 database (with ecoinvent 3.10)

  • SimaPro ecoinvent 3.10 EN15804 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro EN 15804 +A2 database

  • Professional 10.2 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro Professional 10.2 database – choose this option when importing data modelled using the SimaPro Professional 10.2 database (with ecoinvent 3.11)

  • SimaPro ecoinvent 3.11 EN15804 – ensures substances are mapped based on naming convention in the SimaPro EN 15804 +A2 database

Tips!

  • You can find more tips on how to integrate your project to SimaPro cloud edition here.

  • If you have data from an older version of SimaPro (i.e., prior to SimaPro 9.4 with ecoinvent 3.8), please follow the SimaPro desktop user guide to first update your SimaPro desktop database to the latest version. More information and instructions on how to update can be found here.
