If you decide to use a 2 layer board
without ground or Power plane......
 
it means that you are assuming to not have
signal integrity problems
or in other words you are assuming that your application is slow enough 
to not require any particular attention to SI.
 
In this case simulation would just be an unecessary difficult and tricky task
(no one can know in advance where will be the return current..., just to make 
an example)
Easily this approach can lead to EMI problems...
 
It would be much less costly
use a 4 layer board with good PWR/GND layers
that find EMI/SI problems when you'll measure the prototype...

Hi all
 
How can we analyse(simulate) PCBs (transmission line effect ,calculatig 
Z0(SI/EMI issues)...) with 2 routing layers and between them(signal 
tracks)ground Islands(cupper fills...),what's the ground associate with each 
signal track,how can we predict where the return current of each signal will 
flow?
 
Thanks for helping
