# Anisotropic Thermal Property

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.
