I am trying to model a DOAS FCU system that delivers condition OA from the DOAS to the FCU terminal unit before it is delivered to the zone. There is an AirTerminal:SingleDuct:InletSideMixer
object in OS that I think would be the valid choice of air terminals for this system, however, when I assign both this object as well as the ZoneHVAC:FourPipeFanCoil object to the same zone I end up getting the error at the bottom of this post when trying to simulate the model. It appears that OS is not connecting the InletSideMixer to the ZoneHVAC system. I have tried arranging the equipment in the OS Thermal Zone tab with the AirTerminal object before the ZoneHVAC object and vice versa, both resulting in the same error. Am I modeling this system incorrectly, or is this an oversight with the OS software? I am running OS v2.1.
