How can we have empty material assignment inside mechanical when importing a CAD assembly

Say we have a CAD assembly where parts have been assigned material properties. How can we then have an empty material assignment inside mechanical when importing the CAD?

This is how it could possibly be done:

Set material properties (see image below)
Import CAD file
Refresh the Model Cell (A3) from WB
Go to Engineering data and CADMaterial (see libraries)
Add all materials as needed
Open Spaceclaim and run script (see below)
Open mechanical

Script

mat = Window.ActiveWindow.Document.Materials
locmat= mat.Values
im=mat.Count
for i in range(1,im):
   (locmat[i].Delete())
