-Abstraction and Encapsulation
-#############################
-Abstraction in Python is the process of hiding the real implementation
-of an application from the user and emphasizing only usage.
-
-One of the main objectives of PyAnsys libraries is to wrap (encapsulate) 
-data and methods within units of execution while hiding data or parameters 
-in protected variables.
-
-The topics in this section demonstrate how applications and complex services
-expose functionalities that matter to users and hide all else. For example,
-background details, implementation, and hidden states can all be hidden.

+Guidelines
+#############################
+The purpose of this section is to highligh some common practices that

+One of the main objectives of PyAnsys libraries is to wrap (encapsulate) 
+data and methods within units of execution while hiding data or parameters 
+in protected variables.
+
+Those guidelines demonstrate how applications and complex services expose
+functionalities such as logging, data transfer...
