Maxwell AC Conduction not solving E-field in a region

  I have a material in 2D Maxwell AC Conduction that has a nonlinear conductivity set as in the figure below.
  
  When I simulate, the E-field or voltage is not solved in this material, even though I check the box on the material to solve inside. I also set the insulator and conductor levels to 0 S for insulator and very high value for conductor. What else can I do to fix this?

  Hi, do you have excitation assigned on those two boxes?

  I have excitation applied to the layer that it sits ontop of, but not on the two boxes itself.
