🐞 Description of the bug

When we read a user defined material database and try to get the list of material defined in the database using session.settings.setup.materials.list_materials(), this command prints the materials onto fluent console and doesn't return a list. Also, the materials that gets printed onto the console are default materials that are defined instead of the materials defined in the database that was read.

If we use the TUI command, then correct material list gets printed.

session.tui.define.materials.data_base.database_type('user-defined', '"material_database.scm"')
material_list = session.settings.setup.materials.list_materials()
