生命週期評估(Life Cycle Assessment, LCA) 是現今產品發展與設計所需參考的一項重要指標方針，美國環境毒物及化學協會將其定義為一個衡量產品生產或人類活動所伴隨之環境負荷的工具， 不僅需要了解整個生產過程的 能量原料需求量及環保排放量還要將這些能量 原料及排放量所造成的影響予以評估，並提出改善的機會與方法.生命週期評估已為一種廣泛運用在分析產品對環境之衝擊的工具， 再加上環保意識的高漲，國際企業對於產品是否符合的各國環保法規規範，作為一國際化產品，必須要對此做嚴正的重視。傳統的生命週期評估，花費大量的人力、財力、物力，因此存在著太高成本與耗費時間的問題，在生命週期資料的收集和闡釋兩方面，是最為耗用成本的階段。
SimaPro 軟體是由荷蘭Leiden大學於1990年開發出來，現今已發展至SimaPro6.0的版本在生命週期評估的領域中，屬於國際上相當普遍使用的軟體，這套系統除了具有生命週期盤查的資料外，同時也給予環境衝擊的評估，並可比較在不同程序及原物料中對於環境所產生的衝擊大小。軟體除了針對各種環境衝擊可以建立一個環境指標外，還以樹狀圖清楚的表示環境負荷，藉由樹狀圖清楚的表現出各個輸入的能量與物料的分支，並在
各項分支的子系統中以衡量的方式，依據類似像溫度計的表達方式，快速的判斷該物料及能量對環境之衝擊性。
SimaPro具有以下特色:
1. 可以結合各項不同的產品在同一產品項當中，找出其產品的生命週期
2. 可以將產品進行分解，並將每一個分解的零件回收是否評估做環境上的考量
3. 進行多項不同廢棄物處理策略對於環境的影響
4. 對於環境衝擊評估可利用不同的特徵化、標準化及權重的方法
5. 可將分析的結果以不同的方式顯現並自動進行單位間的換算
6. 同時由多人建構，也可以進行分開保存多個不同的檔案
7. 可以建立多種環保法規資料庫，目前內建有歐盟、美國及ISO等規範

Features
SimaPro has the features that you expect from a professional LCA software package:
A
full product family with a SimaPro package for every need.
Intuitive user interface following ISO 14040.
Easy modeling, with
powerful wizards available to assist you.
Parameterized modelling with
scenario analysis.
Hybrid LCA with Input Output databases.
Direct linking to Excel or ASP databases
Direct impact assessment calculations from each stage of your model.
Powerful analytical features on many levels
Monte Carlo analysis
All results in one convenient window.
Interactive results analysis: trace results back to their origins, in real time.
Grouping of results
Weak point analysis: use the process tree to identify any "hot spots".
Interactive analysis of a network
Extensive filtering options for all results.
Analyze complex waste treatment and recycling scenarios.

SimaPro Analyst for detailed LCA studies
If advanced features, transparency and flexibility are your main criteria, choose the Analyst version. It is built for the LCA expert that wants to assess every detail of the LCA he/she is making. It supports parameterized modeling, and comes with advanced analytical features including parameter based scenario analysis and Monte Carlo analysis.
For those that want to create their own Wizards, or want to link with other software tools, we suggest the SimaPro 7.1 Developer.
See the feature list.
Comparative Monte Carlo Analysis
SimaPro Developer to create dedicated LCA tools
For the specialist, we offer the Developer version. It has the same features as the SimaPro Analyst but is extended with direct Excel/ASP linking, Wizard writing options, COM interface and import/export in EcoSpold format.
See the feature list.
Interactive building of a process tree
