I am trying to model in OpenStudio a chiller:electric:reformulatedEIR as per the threads below using the EnergyPlus measure in OpenStudio Inject IDF Objects. What is a good workflow for using this measure in general?

Is it best to start with a blank IDF and just enter the objects to be entered into the OS model? Or, should nodes, branches, equipment lists, etc also be added to the IDF? Or, would it work to take an out.idf generated by the OS model and add the objects to a complete IDF model? I tried the 3rd method and am having a lot of errors for duplicate objects when I run it in OpenStudio, as well as node confusion.

Also, what is the end result of this measure? Does it import idf objects into OS so I can keep working in OS, or does it mean I have to edit the model in EnergyPlus?
