Defines an Anisotropic Thermal Property by specifying specific heat capacity and a second order thermal conductivity tensor, K_ij, for the constitutive relationship between heat flux and the temperature gradient, q_i = -K_ij * dT/dx_j. Providing scalar fields as inputs will result in spatially varying material property.
