To connect one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units, take a look at the Variable Refrigerant Flow Equipment objects. You will need to use the following:
AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow - this is the outdoor unit
ZoneTerminalUnitList - this is a list of indoor units. The outdoor unit will reference this list so that it knows which indoor units it is connected to.
ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow - this is the indoor unit, and is used instead of the PTHP.
Coil:Cooling:DX:VariableRefrigerantFlow and Coil:Heating:DX:VariableRefrigerantFlow - these are the variable refrigerant cooling and heating coils. Each ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow will need one cooling and one heating coil.
The example file: "DOASDXCOIL_wADPBFMethod.idf" shows an implementation of these objects.
