Hi, you have to first develop an EM model of the via, together with the planes in HFSS. Use feeding lines to connect the via to the wave ports. Assign materials to the model, define the ports and set up the convergence criteria (e.g., maximum delta_S). At the end of the field simulation, remove the effects of the feeding lines through de-embedding. You can now use the resulting S-parameters to extract the electrical parameters (e.g., inductance, capacitance,...) of the via. One way of doing this is to use a circuit simulator (e.g., Serenade from Ansoft, ADS,...). Based on the extracted S-parameters, develop and equivalent circuit model of the via and through optimization, these electrical parameters can then be obtained.
