Actually, these sorts of slot simulations are pretty meaningless.  Slots 
normally occur due to plane splits.  As a result, the either extend from 
one edge of a board to another edge, or when the plane is a square patch 
the slot is a closed loop around the periphery of the plane.  When this 
happens, it is quite interesting to simulate multiple signals crossing 
the slot.  There is a very nice slot resonance mode that occurs that is 
generally in the signal bandwidth (or at least 3rd harmonic) because of 
the length of the slot. This induces a signficant amount of ringing and 
crosstalk into neighboring traces.
