Welcome to the TRNSYS Users Forum.
The forum is a place where people can interact and have discussions about different topics involving the use of the TRNSYS software package. Here you can post topics for discussion or questions on using TRNSYS and get advice from other users or TRNSYS experts. This forum is not intended for detailed technical support. Users should contact their distributor’s hotline for such assistance.
Some tips for success on using the forum:
- Follow the Forum Rules posted in Forum Administration.
- There are categories for different types of topics and questions. Post your topic or question into the proper category.
- Before posting a topic or question search the existing topics (and the TRNSYS Users listserv archive or Post archive) to see if a similar topic or question has already been answered.
- Use a descriptive topic name. Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people.
- State the version of TRNSYS and which add-ons your are using.
- Include enough specific details for your topic of question to be answered. Just posting “Why am I getting an error?” without describing the specific error and what you are trying to do when you get the error will not receive a response that fixes your issue.
- Remember when people help you, they are doing you a favor. Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and be polite even if a response does not solve your issue.
- Moderators may edit your post for clarity or move your topic to a more appropriate category.
I would like to ask some questions about TypeStudio. I'm writing a new component using TypeStudio, but a problem arose during the final generation of the DLL file, an error message: undefined reference to 'updatereportvalue' . The screenshot is attached.

@meiling_j Can you include the source code from your Type as part of your post? (Edit the post -> Click on the "<>"symbol in the tool bar -> copy and paste code from your Type). I can't tell from the screenshot alone where the 'updatereportvalue' error might be coming from, but if I could see the full code I might be able to take a guess.
Ah, that helps!
'updateReportValue' is not a valid Simulation Summary Report (SSR) command. Only 'updateReportMinMax' and 'updateReportIntegral' may be used to update entries at the end of a timestep.
'Values' in the SSR are intended for critical parameters for a Type, such as capacity, rated power, rated efficiency, etc. They are initialized at the beginning of the simulation, and they can't be updated as the simulation progresses. They are included in the report to identify or re-iterate which equipment is being reported for that entry (i.e. these results are for the 20 kW heater, those results are for the 5 kW pump).
You could change the 'updateReportValue' calls to 'updateReportIntegral' to get integrated values for Reaction_rate and Degree_of_reaction over the simulation, or use 'updateReportMinMax' to get minimum and maximum values for these variables over the simulation.
You can read more hints, tips, and examples for SSR coding and reporting in Section 7.3.17 of the Programmers' Guide, found in the Documentation folder of your main TRNSYS18 directory.
This is part of the code for my new type, and that's where I think the problem arises.
