Importing and E+ model into Open Studio

We are used to using EnergyPlus and have been asked to do a project were the final model will need to be in Open Studio which we are less familiar with. It seems that some of the systems that we must model are not available in Open Studio yet and so is there a way we can import are working E+ model with these systems into Open Studio and have convert it to an OSM? Or are we going to need to do something clever in Open Studio and if so can anyone point me to some information to help with this. The more we can import into Open Studio the better as we have spreadsheets which input data quickly into an idf and would like to maintain as much of our speed advantage as possible.

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions.
