The current source I1 has been defined with current "T". (You could also do "1u*T", for example, to have a current ramp of 1uA per second.)

The time-domain simulation shows the resulting node voltages and the currents through each element.

You can use similar tricks like these:

Here are a couple of examples used to help set up the initial conditions:
