## Description

Extracts the material IDs and VUUIDs from a k file and provides a material support. Other formats are not supported (yet). The material UIDs can be added as a comment in the k-file like '$Material Id = {1,47527DFF-B313-4C56-B736-83D870A0C299, Orthotropic}' or '$Material Unique Id = {2,1c1c07b7-93da-4f89-b10e-43ca776ef7a5, Orthotropic}'. The values are material index, versioned UUID, and name.
