How to model Zone DX Equipment

I have an air conditioning system using direct expansion of the type Wall Mounted (Daikin) that I would like to simulate in OpenStudio.

However, after exploring the existing area systems on OpenStudio as PTAC and PTHP I found that there aren’t devices which operation, for heating and cooling, is by direct expansion.

Is there any component that allows me to meet these requirements? (Basically acting as a reversible heat pump)

Or I have to make an assembly that resembles to my equipment? Thank you,
