At this point, the material, "Cornellium", will be assigned to the geometry. Then, ANSYS will know the value of k, the coefficient of thermal conductivity, to use in the boundary value problem. To assign the material, expand Geometry, , in the tree outline. Next, click on Surface Body, . Then set Assignment to Cornellium in the "Details of Surface Body" table, as shown below.
