Hi Jory, I have compared both the loop inductance and partial inductance and cannot have the values agree. Here is the inductance from HSPICE fieldsolver and it is per meter + Lo = 3.684847e-07 2.023918e-08 + 2.023918e-08 3.684847e-07 To compare with FastHenry, I multipled the above to 25.4mm as the length of the conductor is 25.4mm and the results are: + Lo = 9.3595114e-9 5.1407517e-10 + 5.1407517e-10 9.3595114e-9 Compare to FastHenry (partial inductance) below, the results are still very far away. Row 0: 2.99871e-008 1.61083e-008 Row 1: 1.61083e-008 2.99868e-008 Does anyone know why?
