Thermal Storage Tank with Phase Change Material (PCM)

I want to model a solar collector with a PCM thermal storage tank (saving heat for the long term) in Energy Plus. Despite searching through the help, I could not find a document that addressed this problem. Does anyone have experience adding PCM to thermal storage in Design Builder or Energy Plus? Thank you in advance.
