Your understanding is correct in that the fan may be placed inside or outside the parent UnitarySystem object. The subtlety is in sizing the system and how you use the scalable sizing inputs (i.e., Cooling Supply Air Flow Rate Method) in the unitary system since the fan may not be able to size using the same method if placed outside the UnitarySystem object. The UnitarySystem object is new and has been tested with many variations in configuration. However, you might find that you have selected a certain configuration that was not tested thoroughly enough and issues may arise.
