I have an important project to integrate of data generated from Avolution ABACUS (Enterprise Architect tool) simulations with Elasticsearch. I understand that ABACUS primarily produces output in the .odb file format. We needs to transfer data from the .odb files into Elasticsearch, which primarily utilizes JSON format. is there any way to transfer .odb files into json format, so we can stream data from Abacus into Elastic and visualise using Kibana. I could not find any thread in internet. really appreciate your help. thanks in advance

Welcome!

I don't I've seen anything like that.
