Using Openstudio, via the API or an EnergyPlus measure, is it possible to add a WaterUse:Storage object to a Cooling Tower? The CoolingTower:VariableSpeed has a selector field Supply Water Storage Tank. I can add a Tank, but only using an EnergyPlus measure to inject that code into the idf file on export/simulate.

I see no method on the OpenStudio API to edit the CoolingTower object.

Is it possible to grab the CoolingTower object from within an EnergyPlus measure, then edit the field for the supply tank ? Any other ideas on how to add a supply tank to the cooling tower?
