  Hello,
  I am trying to analyze a multi-layer planar inductor in Maxwell 2D and I am having trouble calculating the AC resistance and Inductance of the model as a function of frequency.
  The model is as follows:
  
  Here, the red rectangles indicate copper trace and the green rectangles indicate dielectric material in the PCB stack-up.
  The matrix is defined as follows:
  All the copper traces are connected in series.
  I have set up a frequency sweep in the analysis set-up as follows:
  The simulation results are as follows:
  
  For the main matrix:
  I'm not sure where I am going wrong in this simulation. I'd appreciate any help regarding the same.
  Thanks,
  Shivangi

    Thank you for your prompt response. I do not have solve fields only checked in the solve setup. This is how my set-up looks like:
