No, the measure does not call the mentioned method. It's possible that a method I'm calling from the openstudio standard

Hello, I am writing an ASHP measure on Ruby to be used in Open Studio and am encountering an error. The error file reads as the following:

  ** Severe  ** <root>[Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed][Coil Cooling DX Single Speed 3] - Missing required property 'air_inlet_node_name'.
   ** Severe  ** <root>[Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed][Coil Cooling DX Single Speed 3] - Missing required property 'air_outlet_node_name'.

**  Fatal  ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.

Seems like the DX cooling coil doesn't know where to go because the nodes are not defined. Is there a method that can define the nodes for the system in a standardized way? As context, I initialized a new cooling coil with the following lines (similar for heating coil):

new_cooling_coil = OpenStudio::Model::CoilCoolingDXSingleSpeed.new(model)
air_loop_hvac_unitary_system.setCoolingCoil(new_cooling_coil)

Thank you!
