How to create a new material in AEDT using PyAEDT?

Question

How do I create a new material and assign values for density and specific heat using PyAEDT?

If you must assign properties for density and specific heat, please see the code lines below. It is a good practice to check if the material already exists before creating a new one.

if not ipk.materials.checkifmaterialexists("matname"):
    mat = ipk.materials.add_material("matname")
    mat.thermal_conductivity = "400"
    mat.mass_density = "8000"
    mat.specific_heat = "700"
