The XML Template and the Advanced Report Writer are two options available for generating SAP2000 output reports. Both of these options, available through the File menu, are described as follows:
The XML Template provides a newer, more straightforward method for generating output reports.
The Advanced Report Writer is the original, more powerful yet elaborate method for generating output reports.
The Report Format File, which controls the information displayed in individual report tables, may be attached for both XML-based reports and those created using the Advanced Report Writer.
The default format file, SapDefaultFormatFile.fmt, may be manually edited, though we recommend editing a copy of the file. This file is available through Options > Database > Edit Format File, and is located in the SAP2000 user-settings folder, typically C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Computers and Structures\. Some folders may be hidden.
