The way that I go about it is to create new model in the preprocessor 
that just has the materials that I want to eventually use in the lua 
script. I then save it to some filename like "materials.fem" At the 
beginning of the lua script, I then load the file (i.e. 
openfemmfile("materials.fem") ) , and all of the materials that I want 
are there and ready for use.
