hello, how can I add a construction of insulation material and another layer of PCM to a movable insulation? it accepts only materials. as shown in the idf example

SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation,

Outside,                 !- Insulation Type

Zn001:Wall001,           !- Surface Name

SINGLEPANEOPAQUE,        !- Material Name

ON;                      !- Schedule Name

Is the question: "how to add 2 layers (1x insulation, 1x PCM) as a single SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation object"? If so, I suspect a composite layer (part insulation, part PCM) needs to be derived, similar to how repetitive thermal bridging and insulation are often integrated as a single composite material layer.
