How to specify variable DQ parameters in the Schematic Editor ?

The PMSM block has a "Motor configuration type" parameter,  in the "Electrical" tab, which is a dropdown. When the "Variable DQ" is selected, you are allowed to specify a file which should contain electrical parameters in the "Motor Configuration"field.

This file has to be in a specific format which is described below.

What is the format of the variable DQ parameters file ?

The electrical parameters are described in a JSON format. The following parameters must appear in the file.

Lq

double[][]H

Two dimensional array of the quadratic inductance values. 

The first index is for the direct axis.

The second index is for the quadrature axis.

        0.000425
    ]
],

Fm

double[][]Wb

Two dimensional array of the Permanent magnet flux values. 

The first index is for the direct axis.

The second index is for the quadrature axis.

"Fm": [
    [
