ThermalZone::airLoopHVACTerminal returns an HVACObject class, which is the 'generic' class that all AirTerminal object types inherit from (AirTerminalDualDuct types inherit from Mixer, not StraightComponent). Once you get the HVACObject, you need to 'cast' it to the proper base type in order to access the specific terminal class methods. e.g.:

``` terminal = thermal_zone.airLoopHVACTerminal if terminal.is_initialized terminal = terminal.get # this gets the HVACComponent end if terminal.to_AirTerminalSingleDuctVAVReheat.is_initialized terminal = terminal.to_AirTerminalSingleDuctVAVReheat.get # now terminal is an AirTerminal class end terminal.setMaximumAirFlowRate(rate)

```
