Problem

How can I export HAMMER transient profile and graph data?
How can I save HAMMER transient profiles and graphs?
How can I combine multiple transient profiles and graphs?

Solution

Export transient profile data

Starting with HAMMER 2026 (26.00.00.XXX and higher), transient profiles (minimum, maximum and initial HGL for example) can be exported using the Export button in the Profiles tab of the Transient Results Viewer. You can also export multiple profiles at a time. See: Export HAMMER Transient Profile Data to CSV

Export transient graph data (and profile data in version 2024 and earlier)

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 like they can with standard graphs and profiles.

Combine transient results

Consider the following options for combing transient profiles and graphs:

Method 1: batch profile export

In HAMMER 2026 and higher, transient profiles (minimum, maximum and initial HGL for example) for multiple scenarios can be exported to a single CSV file using the Export button in the Profiles tab of the Transient Results Viewer. You can then combine them and present as needed in an external application such as Excel. See: Export HAMMER Transient Profile Data to CSV

Method 2: Combine by including additional scenarios

The Time Histories (graphs) tab 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 3: 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
