Unit and system libraries

SimaPro cloud edition delivers detailed insights directly from unit libraries thanks to fast calculations, whereas the desktop edition relies on system libraries only for specialised scientific modelling workflows that require additional structure.

Inspect, copy, and adapt secondary database datasets (i.e. Ecoinvent, BAFU etc)

You can open datasets from secondary databases (such as ecoinvent or BAFU), inspect underlying data, copy them, and adapt them to reflect your specific product or production reality.

Ecoinvent data: Access the full Ecoinvent database

Available via market-place.

BAFU data: Access the full free BAFU database
Scientific modelling freedom
Parameterised models with formulas (engineering inputs)

Parameters can include formulas and engineering logic (e.g. dimensions, volumes, efficiencies), so the LCA model precisely reflects real products and production processes.

Create and modify processes and methods

Supports advanced customization of processes and impact methods. This functionality can be accessed in the cloud edition if required.

Advanced modelling approaches and experimentation

Supports advanced customization of processes and impact methods. This functionality can be accessed in the cloud edition if required.

Configurable, parameterised LCA models (powering portfolio coverage at SKU level)

Configurable models allow you to build one flexible LCA model that covers entire product lines.
Variations such as size, material, design parameters, or production characteristics can be configured instantly — without rebuilding the model each time.

Portfolio coverage at SKU level in Business is enabled through the same configurable, parameter‑based modelling approach used in Expert and Power.
