Hi,  
I was reading `HowTo_RunScenario.java`, and I would like to know if there is a way to export the created scenario to a JSON file.  
Afterward, I would like to load and run the exported file.

In `HowTo_RunScenario.cpp`, I noticed that scenarios are exported using the `SerializeToFile` method, but the `SEScenario` class in Java doesn’t seem to have this method.

Thank you

The API naming convention in Java is not normalized yet to the latest conventions,

Have you tried experimenting with the [readFile and writeFile methods in SEScenario](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/blob/stable/src/java/com/kitware/pulse/cdm/scenario/SEScenario.java?ref_type=heads#L52)?

I’ve just tried it, and it seems to work correctly with the `readFile` and `writeFile`.

Thank you!
