MHD module variables

Hello, I'm trying to simulate a welding arc to explore the capabilities of the MHD module but for some reason, I can't graph the vectors of current density (J) and electric field (E) after the calculations in the Results tab. Do I have to export them to other software?. If so please tell me how.

Regards,
RVM

Whichever field is solved in Fluent can be post-processed within Fluent and an external tool is not required until and unless there is some special requirement, such as, direct comparison of two or more cases. If the fields do not show up under Contours or Vectors or Plots, then either the fields were not solved for or the case is corrupt.

Thank you for your answer. I'll check if the case files are corrupted.
