COSMOSWORKS 2006 or 2007 - Time History graphs for transient thermal

I am trying to determine if Cosmos 2006 or 2007 can output time history graphs for transient thermal/heat transfer analysis.
As far as I can tell the software can only do this for nonlinear and drop test analyses. So, the software can plot the temperature of a model at every time step, but can't plot such temp. on a 2D graph?? It seems like a very very basic/obvious capability which should be in there, but I can not establish if this is so or not from discussing with colleagues...can anyone shed some light into this?
Is there a workaround possibly so that temperature does not have to be written down for each step manually and typed into a spreadsheet?? With a lot of steps this could get ridiculous....can the same be done for min/max values, as well as sensors (2007 version)?

Can maybe cosmos floworks do this??

Hi!
I think what you need to do is to use the probe option. generate a thermal plo t at any time step. right click on the name of the plot when it is active and slect 'probe' .select a point and click on the 'response' button on the left 'probe result' dialogue box.
