Measuring Drain current using ADE XL

Hello,

I draw made a simple circuit for nfet by giving a dc source from drain to source and another dc source at gate to source, Then I tried to do a dc analysis to calculate the drain current Idd, I selected the "it" from calculator windows and then put the probe on Drain terminal. I am sweeping the Drain to source voltage from 0 to 5V , but when I run the simulation it ends with error, When I view the plot gor Vgs vs Idd , Its showing the graph for normal IV curve of transisitor but for Idd the value is "err val", Could anyone guide me where I am going wrong , Any helpful material ?

Note: Sorry if the topic is in wrong section
