SimaPro Connectors

Using the two way COM interface in SimaPro Developer, you can link SimaPro to other software. This opens the possibility to use LCA results in other tools, or to receive useful data in SimaPro.

Connecting SimaPro to other software

SimaPro connectors use the complete database, calculation and analysis features of SimaPro. This makes the calculation power of SimaPro available to many new applications:

• CAD/CAM systems, to give a product designer or architect feedback on design choices.
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, to show a regular update of the impact of material, energy and transport flows in the company.
• Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, to give insight in the environmental issues in PLM. 

To demonstrate the COM feature a .NET desktop and a Java web application were developed by our partner GreenDeltaTC. You can download these open source connectors from Sourceforge and use these to create your own applications.
