Creating model from external source

Hello,

I am prototyping a way auto generate a Flexsim model (conveyors to start with) from a layouting tool. The data can look something like attached. json.txt

What would be the best approach to go about this? My initial thinking was to use a dll that could open an file and insert the models. Not sure that's the best way to go.

I'm all new to Flexsim and appreciate all help I can get. The examples I can find are mostly related to customizing models but in this case I just want to use the built in models for conveyors.

Is there any examples where someone have done something similar?

Thanks!
