 Filter design
-==========================
-The ``FilterSolutions`` module contains all classes needed to create and edit an object including. 
-
-
-* ``Attributes`` to defines attributes and parameters of filters.
-* ``DllInterface`` to interface with the FilterSolutions DLL.
-* ``GraphSetup`` to define the frequency and time limits of the exported responses.
-* ``IdealResponse`` to return the data for available ideal filter responses.
-* ``MultipleBandsTable`` to manipulate access to the entries of multiple bands table.
-* ``TransmissionZeros`` to manipulates access to ratio and bandwidth entries in the transmission zeros table.
-* ``LumpedTopology`` to define attributes and parameters of filters implemented with lumped topology.
-* ``LumpedParasitics`` to define attributes of the lumped element parasitic values.
+====================
+This section describes the classes used for creating and modifying parameters in the ``filtersolutions`` module.
+The module provides tools for designing and customizing filter configurations. 
+
+The module includes two classes, ``LumpedDesign`` and ``DistributedDesign``, both inherited from the ``FilterDesignBase`` class as described in the :ref:`BaseFilterDesign` section.
+
+Each class implements methods specific to its design approach while leveraging common functionality from the base class.
+
+
+Lumped design
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The ``LumpedDesign`` module includes all the necessary classes for creating and modifying parameters used in lumped filter designs.
+Lumped filters use discrete components such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors.
+
+* ``LumpedTopology`` to define attributes and parameters of filters implemented using a lumped topology.
+* ``LumpedParasitics`` to define attributes of parasitic values associated with lumped elements.
 * ``LumpedNodesandLeads`` to define attributes of the lumped node capacitors and lead inductors.
-* ``LumpedTerminationImpedance`` to manipulate access to the entries of source and load complex impedance table.
-* ``ExportToAedt`` to define attributes and parameters of the export page for exporting to AEDT.
-* ``OptimizationGoalsTable`` to manipulate access to the entries of the optimization goals table.
+* ``LumpedTerminationImpedance`` to manage access to the entries in the source and load complex impedance table.
+
+They are accessible through:

+   lumped_parasitics.LumpedParasitics
+   lumped_nodes_and_leads.LumpedNodesandLeads
+   lumped_termination_impedance_table.LumpedTerminationImpedance
+
+``Lumped Filter`` example:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import ansys.aedt.core
+    import ansys.aedt.core.filtersolutions
+    # This call returns an instance of the LumpedDesign class
+    design = ansys.aedt.core.FilterSolutions.LumpedDesign(version= "2025.1")
+    # This property in the Attributes class specifies the filter class as band pass
+    design.attributes.filter_class = FilterClass.BAND_PASS
+    # This property in the Attributes class specifies the filter type as Elliptic
+    design.attributes.filter_type = FilterType.ELLIPTIC   
+    # This property in the LumpedTopology class enables the trap topology by setting it to true
+    design.topology.trap_topology = True
+    ...
+
 
 
+Distributed design
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The ``DistributedDesign`` module includes all the necessary classes for creating and modifying parameters used in distributed filter designs.
+Distributed filters rely on transmission lines and resonators.
+
+* ``DistributedTopology`` to define attributes and parameters of filters implemented using a distributed topology.
+
+They are accessible through:
+
+
+.. currentmodule:: ansys.aedt.core.filtersolutions_core
+
+.. autosummary::
+   :toctree: _autosummary
+   :nosignatures:
+
+
+   distributed_topology.DistributedTopology
+
+``Distributed Filter`` example:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import ansys.aedt.core
+    import ansys.aedt.core.filtersolutions
+    # This call returns an instance of the DistributedDesign class
+    design = ansys.aedt.core.FilterSolutions.DistributedDesign(version= "2025.2")
+    # This property in the Attributes class specifies the filter class as band pass
+    design.attributes.filter_class = FilterClass.BAND_PASS
+    # This property in the Attributes class specifies the filter type as Elliptic
+    design.attributes.filter_type = FilterType.ELLIPTIC   
+    # This property in the DistributedTopology class sets the load resistance to 50 ohms.
+    design.topology.load_resistance = "50"
+    ...
+
+.. _BaseFilterDesign:
+
+Base filter design
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The ``FilterDesignBase`` module provides all the essential classes for creating and modifying the primary parameters applicable to all design types.
+
+* ``Attributes`` to define attributes and parameters of filters.
+* ``DllInterface`` to establish an interface with the FilterSolutions DLL.
+* ``GraphSetup`` to define the frequency and time graph parameters of the exported responses.
+* ``IdealResponse`` to return the data for the available ideal filter responses.
+* ``MultipleBandsTable`` to manage access to the entries in the multiple bands table.
+* ``TransmissionZeros`` to manage access to ratio and bandwidth entries in the transmission zeros table.
+* ``ExportToAedt`` to define attributes and parameters for the export page when exporting to AEDT.
+* ``OptimizationGoalsTable`` to manage access to the entries in the optimization goals table.
