Info

When you select a flow from the search window, always take note that the flow is chosen from the correct object group. 31. Select „Steel wire‟ by clicking on it and on „Accept.‟ This process also requires electricity to run the bending machine. 32. Click in the „Flow‟ field and enter the word „Electricity.‟ 33. You require electric power so you can select and accept this flow from the search box. Make sure you check the object group column to ensure that you have selected the correct object type. The output of this process is, of course, paper clips. Just like for inputs, you can click in the flow field and enter the name of the flow you want to enter. 3.16 Creating new flows You remember that in the beginning of this tutorial you specified that the functional unit for this example was one paper clip. We should now enter this as the first flow leaving the process. 34. Type „steel paper clip‟ and hit enter. You will notice that a new window opens indicating that there are no matches found for paper clip and asking if you would like to create a new object. 35. Click „Create new object.‟ 40
You have to specify where you would like to locate this new object. Since this object is the product that you are producing, it makes sense to place it in the valuable substances folder, under systems, parts and metal parts. This categorisation is relevant for balance calculations in <strong>GaBi</strong> so make sure you select the appropriate location for your new flow. 36. Select „Valuable substances > Systems > Parts > Metal parts‟ and click „OK.‟ You can now edit the name of the flow and add any additional information. The reference quantity of a new flow is automatically set to mass. This means that the standard unit of this flow is measured in kg. If you add new quantities to this flow, you also need to enter the quantity related to 1kg of this flow. You do this by entering a number and unit. We will do this now. Because our functional unit is one paperclip (and not mass) you should specify this in the quantities list. 37. Add a new quantity to the flow by double clicking on the empty „Quantity‟ box and typing „number of pieces.‟ Then you have to define a conversion factor to mass. 41
