Hi Swaroop, This is the exact issue I faced some time back! You need to include the Ground plane in your circuit return path explicitly. Just adding a ground plane near the signal will work fine for a 2D extractor but not with 3D extractors. Thanks and regards, Jayaprakash. --- Swaroop <ghoshso@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am a new user of fasthenry tool.
