I have your circuit with the meters in place for you to examine. I believe this set-up to be accurate. You can not check current from your point a and b. you have to check it in each branch. You can check the voltage at point a and b. Also, in your circut, there was no ground. Multisim requires at least one ground in order to simulate and it doesn't matter in this case where you put it. This is just a reference for measurement that is required for Multisim.
There are other ways to measure this. You could do it with the multimeters, measurement probes if your version has this option or the way I did it with the ammeters and voltmeters under the INDICATORS tab in the component toolbar.
Don't be too concerned about the negative readings on the ammeter. That just indicates that I placed them in the circuit with the wrong polarity and current is flowing against them. I really just forgot to place them in the correct direction
I will let you look at this and hopefully it will match any calculated results you may have come up with.
