Is there any way I could measure the current flowing between source and drain terminal of a transisotr without modifing the netlist ?
Thanks,

Which simulator are you using? If Spectre in ADE, go Outputs>save all...> and theres an option for terminal currents (userprobe)
my mistake, i guess i didnt read the whole thread title

Add the following line to your spice deck:
.PROBE I(Mxx.D) or
.PROBE I(Mxx.S)
where Mxx is the instance name of the MOS you are interested in.

I was under the impression that I(Mxx.D) measures current between Drain and bulk but I verified that my assumption was not correct.
Thanks for the reply.

Note that I(Mxx.D) includes drain to bulk current, but usually that's smaller than the channel current.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
