Reuse FCU model in OpenStudio

I am modelling FCU with DOAS system in OpenStudio v2.1.0 referring to this post.
Since there are many thermal zone, I would like to reuse the fan coil unit model setting through My Model.
However, I cannot find zone equipment component in Thermal Zone tab as shown below.
Does anyone know how I can reuse the model I set in thermal zone tab?

Each fan coil object is unique to a zone. You will need to drag and drop a new fan coil object from the library tab at the right of your screen into each thermal zone. This can be tedious, especially if you have to change variables on each one.

The alternative is to use an OpenStudio Measure, e.g. AEDG Office HVAC Fan Coil DOAS, to add fan coil objects to each of your zones. You can write your own script to do this, or edit the measure to include your variable settings.
