How do I specify a non-uniform conductivity to my blocks or plates?

You may do this by modifying the conductivity values in "Model/Materials". Solids materials can have Isotropic, Orthotropic or Anisotropic conductivities. Isotropic solids have uniform conductivities in all directions. Orthotropic materials can have different conductivities in X, Y, and Z directions. The conductivity of Anisotropic materials is defined by a nine component tensor. So, depending on the complexity of your materials, you can choose either Orthotropic or Anisotropic options for your materials.
