Can you access autosized values from PythonPlugin?

Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible to access autosized values from PythonPlugin, for example is it possible to access maximum water flow rate of coils? If so, how pls?

I read, that sizing values should be available as internal variables but I cannot find list of internal variables which can be queried from python plugin... I looked into *.edd file, there are some sizing values, but I have not found anything close to maximum water flow rate there...

Thank you!
