      To do this, create a user-defined scalar transport equation for electric potential. This equation will have only a “Conduction” term. Setting up this equation will require a conduction-type property to be set for each material. This property represents the electrical conductivity and is presented as “uds-conductivity” in the property listing for each material. The options for this material include anisotropic specification. Please see attached document for setup details.
