Anisotropic material properties in cylindrical coordinates

I am building a 3D model where there are several cylinders, placed in several locations, with an anisotropic thermal conduction in cylindrical coordinates. For example, each cylinder has a large thermal resistance in the R-direction and a low thermal resistance in the Phi- and Z-direction.
I have defined a separate cylindrical coordinate system for each of the cylinders: sys2, sys3, sys4... etc. How can I link these coordinate systems to the anisotropic material properties of parts?
