Orthotropic conductivity

Hello everybody,

I´m trying to create ortotropic material with conductivity:

X direction (axial)= 6 w/m-k
Y direction (radial)= 29 w/m-k
Z direction (radial)= 29 w/m-k

But I don't quite understand the setup described in Ansys Fluent User Guide. How to set conductivities for this geometry according to different conductivity in each direction ?

All your advice I would be very grateful.

Best regards,
