Hello,
I am trying to design a circuit that will convert photodiode current received from the intensity of the LED to the Voltage.
I just read this https://www.edaboard.com/threads/166250/and didnt found correct answer.I am facing similar problem like the above
Before practically implementing it on board I would like to simulate it and using NI multisim for this purpose.I used Infrared LED,TEMD1000 Pindiode and OPA380 for this design as shown in the link below

My requirement is that when the intensity of LED changes the current of Photodiode should resulting in a respective Voltage out.I am not that good in analog and I got the problem that the even when the input to the LED is at 0V it is showing photodiode output as 458uA and OPA380 output as 4.58V.The datsheet for OPA380 is given below and followed the page12 for this design.

I'm not sure of how to get the required working.So,can someone help me with analog corrections of the ciruit.
Thanks in Advance.

The main problem is that you are shorting the photodiode with the current meter. A current measurement would be always series connected.

I would also suggest to set the bias voltage to zero for a first attempt. It will probably confuse you. The basic photo diode refernce circuit don't use a bias voltage.
