VRF outputs in OpenStudio

I'm modeling a VRF system with a DOAS using the VRFwithDOAS HVAC whole system measure.

Under the zone equipment detail in the OpenStudio Results nothing is showing up for sizing.

image description

This is similar under the zone report (OpenStudio Measure). It doesn't appear as if the VRF heating/cooling coils are auto-sizing. Although it looks like the fans are.

image description

There aren't many unmet hours. However, I'm not convinced that the load is being picked up by the VRF coil. It could be picked up by the DOAS.

First off, is it common for VRF coil sizes to not show up properly in the OpenStudio output report?

Second, is there a way to output EnergyPlus variables that are not in the OpenStudio Output Variables tab such as "HVAC,Average,Fan Runtime Fraction" within the OpenStudio framework?

Any direction would be helpful. Thank you.
