How do I use analysis groups in SimaPro cloud edition?

If you want to adjust the results to a certain group of processes or geography, you can use analysis groups to make sets of processes from which the results will be calculated.

Create analysis groups

  1. Select your model and go to the Calculations page (via the side panel or via the model dashboard).

  2. Define the calculation setup fields (top process, product, etc.).

  3. When the calculation setup is finished, you can create analysis groups by clicking on the Create analysis group. Then this screen will show:

4. There are four parts to the creation of analysis groups:

  • Naming the group and choosing a color

  • Including model processes and including processes from connected libraries in this step you can select the model processes or any process from the libraries connected to the model.

  • Filtering section: Here you can filter the search list by name, tags or geography.

  • Search list: Here you can select the processes you want to include in the current group as well as see if the process is already included in another group.

5. When you have created a few groups by using the filters and the search list, you can Save a calculation setup as default if you wish and click Calculate.

6. In the Impact assessment tab you will see calculation results with the process contribution per analysis group.

Modifying existing analysis groups

Tip! If you wish to modify existing analysis groups, you can do it by adding new analysis groups, editing the existing ones, or deleting analysis groups.
