If you have a problem solved in HFSS - you can contact their
Apps Engineers to figure out how to get Zo from your solution.

Or - Use a 2D extractor.

Aubrey-

Yes, thank you very much for that last explanation.  I was=20
struggling to understand the relationship because I couldn't find=20
anywhere the inductance increasing by 600X.  Running simple=20
hypothetical simulations in HFSS has shown that TOTAL inductance is=20
higher at low frequencies, but starts to converge as frequencies=20
increase - just as you suggested.

Thanks for the help.  That 600 value was really causing confusion. =20
But now at least i'm starting to understand the relationship.
