CST - How to figure out loop inductance of pcb traces

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner with CST Studio LE and I'm simply trying to calculate self and mutual inductance of two copper traces, to figure out, which position to each other influences the loop inductance for example in a pcb layout. I modeled the traces as a coil, as there was only the option to calculate inductance matrix when doing so. To close the loop I have added PEC elements at both ends but finally it's not working. Am I doing something wrong in general? Would be great if someone can help to solve this task.


Thx, Mayr
