+******************
+Solver translation
+******************
+
+Solver translation (commonly known as FE2Ansys) translates Abaqus input deck to Ansys solver decks (MAPDL and LS-DYNA).
+The translation ensures that the abaqus model can be used in Ansys without recreating them from scratch.
+It helps to save time and efforts even though minor manual adjustments may be required.
+The manual adjustments like redefining boundary conditions, loads, and material properties,
+ensures that the model behaves as expected in Ansys solver deck.
+
+The following example shows the translation of Abaqus input file to MAPDL file format:
+
+1.	Import the Abaqus file.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+       file_io = prime.FileIO(model=model)
+       import_results = file_io.import_abaqus_inp(
+           r"E:/test2/Abaqus_Input_multistep.inp",
+           prime.ImportAbaqusParams(model),
+       )
+       print(import_results)
+
+    The import_abaqus_inp imports the abaqus file as mesh, extracts simulation specific information from the abaqus file and
+    stores the information in Prime as a JSON document. :class:`ImportAbaqusParams <ansys.meshing.prime.ImportAbaqusParams>`
+    allows you to set the parameters for importing the model. The example uses default parameters for importing the model.
+
+    **Output**:
+
+    .. figure:: ../images/fe2ansys_abaqus_import.png
+
+2.	Export the file in MAPDL format.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        mapdl_params = prime.ExportMapdlCdbParams(model=model)
+        mesh_file_cdb = os.path.join(r"E:\test3\Abaqus_Input_multistep.cdb")
+        export_cdb_result = file_io.export_mapdl_cdb(
+            mesh_file_cdb,
+            params=mapdl_params,
+        )
+        print(export_cdb_result)
+
+    :class:`ExportMapdlCdbParams <ansys.meshing.prime.ExportMapdlCdbParams>` allows setting parameters to control
+    the export of MAPDL CDB files.
+
+    :class:`ExportMapdlCdbResults <ansys.meshing.prime.ExportMapdlCdbResults>` contains the summary
+    result of the export process in json format. This writes the .cdb file to the specified location.
