There is a new tool 'Passive Component Modeler'
comes with the MMSIM 6.0 URS2 stream.

Have a look at

Code:

<yourMMSIMInstallDir>/doc/VPCMug/VPCMug.pdf

I it can model a set of more complex inductors
like differential symmetrical and asymmetrical,
based on a Assura procfile and p2lvs file.

I have not tested it so far.

Try with:

Code:

setenv CDS_VPCM_HOME <yourMMSIMInstallDir>/tools/vpcm
vpcm

It's also integrated with DFII - there's a tutorial under the vpcm directory in the installation.

Andrew.
