abc_model = ABCModel.from_csv(csv_file="./LadybugTools_Toolkit/LadybugTools_Engine/Python/tests/assets/example_abc_phases.csv", name="test", description="test")

# set filepaths
input_json_file = Path("./").resolve() / "input_json_file.json"
output_json_file = Path("./").resolve() / "output_json_file.json"
output_csv_file = Path("./").resolve() / "output_csv_file.csv"

# write model to file
abc_model.to_file(input_json_file)

# pass model to API, and convert response to CSV
run_abc(
    input_json_file=input_json_file,
    output_json_file=output_json_file,
    output_csv_file=output_csv_file,
)

# load response as pandas DataFrame
