I am trying to add my textfield into the coredata as an float value, when user press a submit button. I have an error
Thread 1:EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1,address=0x1)
My attributes inside .xcdatamodel file and NSManagedObject class are set to type float. 
 @IBOutlet weak var forceEntered: UITextField!
 @IBOutlet weak var stiffnessEntered: UITextField!
 @IBAction func submit(sender: AnyObject) {
        let appDel : AppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
        let contxt : NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.managedObjectContext!
        let en = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("SpringVariables", inManagedObjectContext: contxt)
        var newItem = SpringModel(entity:en!,insertIntoManagedObjectContext: contxt)
        newItem.stiffness = (stiffnessEntered.text as NSString).floatValue //error message shows here.
        newItem.force = (forceEntered.text as NSString).floatValue
 }
