Minimum air change rate with VRF and DOAS

Hello, I have a project with minimum outdoor airflow and minimum supply airflow requirements. I think I have the outdoor airflow inputs squared away, but am stuck on how to capture the minimum supply air requirements. This post suggests defining the minimum supply airflow requirement at the terminal box; however, with VRFs + DOAS, I am using the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Mixer, which does not have an input for minimum flow rate. At the VRF terminal, I only see the inputs listed below, none which are minimum flow rates. Any ideas on how I can model this or is there something I have overlooked? Thanks!
