How to Add a Fan Power Ventilator to OSM File

I would like to use OpenStudio to create a building energy model. Actually, there are a lots of Fan Power Ventilators inside of the buildings. However, I can't directly select Unit Ventilators from Library because of the bug of the fan (https://unmethours.com/question/13699/supply-fan-name-type-in-for-an-unit-ventilator/).

The area that has the ventilator is also serviced by another big central AHU. That means this area already has an air loop. That's why I can't create another air loop to show this ventilator.

And then, I would like to add a component downloaded from BCL called Generic Axial Powered Roof Ventilator. However, it seems like the component can't be used directly in OSM file.

Does anyone have any ideas about this problem? That'll be very helpful! Thank you!
