Materials

Materials belong to the group of "external data".
These are data/definitions that influence the visualization.

Materials define how a surface is displayed in the visualization and which physical properties it has.

Note:
Currently, a Material can only be defined in a very basic way, without additional properties.
This will change soon, so that all necessary parameters for material visualization in the frontend will be definable.
