Export data from Hammer and use it in ِِAutopipe

I have a water network project PVC pipe material. However, we will do the water hammer study on "Hammer" to add the appropriate vessel and relief valves. ِAlso a pipe stress analysis is needed, however I need to extract data from the hammer simulation to added in Autopipe.

What type of data needed to be extracted is it TIH data but the hammer cannot extract such data.? or just the maximum forces at the node as concentrated forces? the maximum forces with the corresponding time and add them as a time history analysis? however how to extract such data ?

kindly advice

  • thank you for the reply,

    I saw this I need to take it and insert it manually.

    but in hammer, all the data start from 0 seconds for each node, and in the Autopipe when inserting the data they need "start time" for each point. 

    if this is the correct way, how we get the start time for each node in Hammer?
