Loss of elemental material assignment data when going from FE Modeller to Transient Structural

  Hello all,
  
  I am trying to do the following:
  
  1. I have a tetrahedral mesh in Abaqus with elemental material assignement : i.e. I have around 4 materials distributed around in the solid, and there are clusters of elements with different material properties.
  
  2. I import the .inp file into the "FE Modeller" module. The mesh, and the material assignments are imported without any issue.
  
  3. I then connect the 'model' component in the FE Modeller to the 'model' component in the "Transient Structural" module. However, when I open the Mechanical program, the elemental material assignments are all lost.
  
  I would appreciate any input in this matter. I have attached an image in case it helps. I can send other files too if required. Thank you so much!
