The return pipe of AHU is the supply pipe for a radiant system in another floor. Is there a way to model it in OpenStudio?

Hi, I am new to energy simulation. I am designing a five story Hotel HVAC system in openstudio. The Ground Floor and First Floor have a number of FCUs and AHUs which I have modelled in Parallel in the Chilled water loop. Now, the Return pipe from this system is connected back to the Radiant system for rest of the floors through a pump. I guess having the radiant system in parallel to the FCUs and AHUs would not give me appropriate results. Is there a way to model it in Openstudio ? Or I need to take it too Energy Plus? Thanks
