Hard Sizing Coil Cooling Water

I am trying to hard size a water cooling coil in OpenStudio 2.8, there is no hard size option for the capacity of the cooling coil, the only available option is to hard size the flow rate. I tried to increase the flow rate to get the targeted capacity using the below formula from EnergyPlus guide. The output reports shows an increase in the coil flow rate but the cooling capacity is still the same. The reason I am doing this is to meet the requirement of App G of 90.1 of modeling the proposed system with actual capacities. Is there a work around to hard size the water cooling coil?
