What ventilation system, E+ does and doesnt take into account for sizing calculation ?

I am working on a project with DOAS with a heat recovery and a coil. So, in E+, I have simulated this system with a DOAS templates, connected to a VRF.
I have found some unconsistent results for the capacity of the coil and I am not sure that the HX is taking into account for the size of the DOAS coil.
When I change the efficiency of the HX, it seems to be taken into account when I check the node temperature and the cooling/electrical energy, The results are varying in the good way. But nothing change for the DOAS cooling coil rate.

I have spend a lot of times to change some parameters, to understand the links between the inputs and outputs, to read some articles, some posts, in the purpose of understand my results.
So my question, what ventilation system, E+ does and doesnt take into account for sizing calculation ?

DOAS + HX + coil is a very commun system, so what are your tricks or tips to simulate this system ?
Thank you your help

What ventilation system, E+ does and doesnt take into account for sizing calculation ?

I am working on a project with DOAS with a heat recovery and a DX coil. So, Therefore, in E+, I have simulated this system with a DOAS templates, connected to a VRF.
I have found some unconsistent results for the capacity of the coil and I am not sure that the HX is taking taken into account for the size of the DOAS coil.
When I change the efficiency of the HX, nothing change for the DOAS cooling coil rate. However, for the node temperature and the energy, it seems to be taken into account when I check the node temperature and the cooling/electrical energy, because, The results are varying in the good way. But nothing change for the DOAS cooling coil rate.

I have spend spent a lot of times to change some parameters, to understand the links between the inputs and outputs, to read some articles, some posts, in the purpose of understand my results.

DOAS + HX + coil is a very commun system, so if E+ can't simulate this system, what are your tricks or tips to simulate this system it ?
