## About this Block

**What it does:** Assigns the Thermal Conductivity and Specific Heat to an **Isotropic Material**.

**Common uses:**

* An input in defining an **Isotropic Material**.
* For conducting a **Thermal Analysis**.

**Tips:**

* Create spatially varying properties by using Scalar Fields as inputs.
* This block has an overload, to allow you to define an Isotropic Nonlinear Thermal Property. This overload is in Beta.

Defines an Isotropic Nonlinear Thermal Property by specifying the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. Providing scalar fields as inputs will result in spatially varying material properties.

### Inputs

| Name          | Type                                                           | Description             |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Conductivity  | [Dictionary](../../../../block-documentation/types/dictionary) | Thermal conductivity.   |
| Specific heat | [Dictionary](../../../../block-documentation/types/dictionary) | Specific heat capacity. |

### Outputs

| Type                                                                                           |
