Simulation Model Interface
An interface between simulation models and brightway25.
SiModIn can be used to:
Create generic model based brightway25 datasets.
Calculate the impact of your models.
Provide your simulation models for LCA studies.
Using simulations for Life cycle Assessment (LCA) studies can help to improve the quality of LCA datasets by providing parameterized and detailed data of specific process systems. Unlike generic datasets, which represent a market average, simulation based datasets can be tailored to reflect specific technologies, geographical locations, or operational conditions. This allows a detailed and accurate representation of the environmental impacts associated with a product or service throughout its life cycle. SiModIn aims to facilitate the integration of simulation models into LCA workflows, enabling more accurate and comprehensive environmental impact assessments.
By a flexible interface, SiModIn allows users to connect various simulation tools with brightway25, making it easier to incorporate simulation results into LCA analyses.
Its generic design allows to use SiModIn with different simulation software, such as TESPy, DWSIM or other tools that can be controlled via Python. On the other hand it allows SiModIn models to be shared and reused by other LCA practitioners, without the need to be a professional user of the underlying simulation software.
