Hi Athul,
Don’t worry about being new to Zemax, we all started somewhere.
I still don’t understand your problem completely. Don’t forget there are many types of LEDs and different ways one can collimate them. Could you elaborate on what you tried to do and consider sharing this file with us? More specifically, how were you trying to collimate your LED? When you say its not working, what is the actual problem? Do you get an error?
For collimation, in Non-Sequential mode, you could use the RMS Angular Radius as the optimization criterion. But, without further information on your system, it is hard to help you further.

Have a look at these articles, they are a good starting point to get into OpticStudio Non-Sequential mode.
Take care,
David
