Overview

CONNECT Edition Update 4 version 10.04.00.108 of HAMMER introduces improvements and features to help you be more successful.

Note: HAMMER version 10.04.00.108 has an important update related to saved graphs. While saved graphs are not used in a transient analysis, it is highly recommended that you install this version if you had previously installed 10.04.00.106 or 10.04.00.107.

For details on what's new with WaterCAD and WaterGEMS CONNECT Edition Update 4, see this article.

Removal of output size limit and profile animation size limit

The output file size limit for the calculation, as well as the size limit for transient profile animations have been removed. The user will no longer run into limitations in the output generated in HAMMER, in particular when viewing the results.

With this major enhancement, the Transient Results Viewer will open much faster and profile animations of transient results will be much smoother, enabling you to more easily understand your transient simulation.

The following link has additional information on this: User notification: The period between path histories has been increased by a factor of X to limit the number of path records to Y.

Time Step Export Options added to Export to Excel feature

An option has been added to the Export to Excel feature enabling the user to filter the time steps that are exported to Excel.

This feature will be useful to limit the number of rows exported out to Excel and decrease the time needed to export the data.

Note: if you exceed the limit of the number of rows for Excel, select CSV for the "Format".

For more information on the Export to Excel feature, see the following link: Export data to an Excel spreadsheet.

Bulk Archive feature for Change Tracking

A new bulk archive feature is available for change tracking. With this, you will be able to archive a large number of items from the Change Tracking database. This will remove the items from the model database file and store the archived changes in an external database file.

You can access this by going to the Review tab. Note that this does not replace the Archive feature in the Change Tracking manager.
