Under the FDTD-Nonlinear folder right click and create a new Material. From there you can choose whether it is a 2nd, 3rd, Kerr … type material. Since you only have the nonlinear index that means to me that you would be making a 3rd order material. You then just need to convert the index to a susceptibility. You can find the calculation on the web.
