How to export HAMMER transient profile and graph data?
How to save HAMMER transient profiles and graphs?
How to combine multiple transient profiles and graphs?
Solution
Export transient profile and graph data
Follow these steps to export by copying and pasting the data:
1. Open a graph.
2. Open Chart Options.
3. Select the Chart button.
4. Select the Series tab.
5. Select the series you want to copy.
6. Click on the Data button at the top.
7. Select the first row heading, hold Shift, select the last row heading.
8. Press Ctrl+C to copy the data.
9. Paste the data into an Excel spreadsheet.
Or, alternatively, add Profile Data Tables to a Custom Report (you can also add multiple scenarios), generate the report and use the save button at the top to export to Excel or other formats.
Save transient profiles and graphs
Graphs and profiles created from the transient results viewer can't be saved as they can with standard graphs and profiles.
Combine transient results
Natively there is no direct way to do this with the Transient Results Viewer, but there are other methods to accomplish this.
Method 1: Combine by including additional scenarios
Time Histories has the option to include additional scenarios, but it would be limited to a single Time History and Graph Type.
Extended Node Data is limited to the same Node and Graph Type.
Method 2: Custom Reports
The Custom Report feature enables you to add multiple transient profiles and graphs to the same report and print/export at once. See: Creating Custom Reports
Method 3: Use the old-style (Java) transient results viewer
This is useful in cases where you'd like to compare transient profile/time series results between scenarios.
1. Switch to the old-style (Java) transient results viewer using the steps in the following article.

2. Open time history graph (or profile plot) number 1
3. Right click in the middle of the graph and choose Save As > HAMMER graph - save the .grp file somewhere
4. Close graph (or profile plot) number 1 and go to File > open and reopen it
5. Right click on the frame of the graph and choose "copy data"
6. Open graph (or profile plot) number 2, right click on the frame and choose "paste data (+)".
Note: you may have to adjust the Y axis scale if the pasted data doesn't fit in graph number 2.
