Hi folks, I seriously doubt that software like HFSS and SI wave can make a mistake simulating a simple configuration like two coupled parallel microstrip lines. I would suspect that one of the model have something wrong; I bet that any Ansoft AE could easily help on this. By the way, with HFSS it is possible to simulate a transmission line structure of an arbitrary length by modeling a little piece and using the deembedding feature, provided that the structure is uniform.
