I am trying to model a self-contained VAV using the AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem component, but with the API I can't figure out how to put a setpoint manager on the cooling coil air outlet node of the Coil:Cooling:WaterToAirHeatPump:EquationFit component within the unitary system, or any component within the unitary system for that matter. The problem is that the air inlet and outlet nodes for components within the unitary system don't seem to get initialized until the IDF gets written. I could probably write an EnergyPlus measure to add a setpoint manager to the outlet node, but it's not quite the solution I am looking for. Alternatively, I could also just use the unitary system to house the cooling coil and place the setpoint manager on the outlet of the unitary system because this will be the same node as the air outlet of the cooling coil. However, if I had a unitary system with multiple components (i.e cooling coil, heating coil and fan) is there a way I can force the nodes to initialize or somehow apply a setpoint manager to each of the individual component outlet nodes?
This question is sort of a follow up from a previous post and it gives a bit more information about the type of system I am refering to.
