It looks like I didn't make myself clear here.
If you are stuck with particular geometry only chnaging material can do anything towards altering thermal transfer rate, quite obvious.
If change of geometry is possible it is qiote obvious that with changed contact surface (cross-sectional area of connecting device) termal transfer rate is instantly altered despite using the same material.
You are right that thermal resistance of a material is not changed by it's shape. We are not looking here at lumps of shapless raw materials but particular DEVICES made using dfferent materials.
Look at the big picture and any software is ust a tool for making some calcs not finding solutions. I use my brain to do it
