The software return in output: 0.710135+0.000900107j at 10KHz which yeld to about 710mOHM of series resistence and 900uH of inductance
The inductance of this coil given by the approximation is on the order of 780nH and 400mOHM
The ESR is OK, but the inductance is 3 order of magnitude off, am i interpreting the data in a wrong way? Is my spiral ill described?
Thanks

Posted - Nov 21 2012 : 09:55:24 after some troubleshooting i found what the problem was:
the first line of the .inp file is ignored, so in my case the .unit statement was dropped and the program calculated with it's default measure unit (meter perhabs?)
I put a comment line in the first row and simulated the code again, now i get
0.472909+9.10647e-007j at 10KHz
470mOHM of series resistence and 910nH of inductance is the right order of magnitude for this inductor
