Keyword type: model definition, material
This option is used to define the conductivity coefficients of a material. There is one optional parameter TYPE. Default is TYPE=ISO, other values are TYPE=ORTHO for orthotropic materials and TYPE=ANISO for anisotropic materials. All constants may be temperature dependent. The unit of the conductivity coefficients is energy per unit of time per unit of length per unit of temperature.

Example: *CONDUCTIVITY 50.,373. 100.,573.
tells you that the conductivity coefficient in a body made of this material is 50 at T=373 and 100 at T=573. Below T=373 its value is set to 50, above T=573 it is set to 100 and in between linear interpolation is applied.
