Hi all..

i still wonder whether the EDA tools can deal with skin effect when performing the post layout simulation..can everybody advice me..thanks
 

Since conductors are very thin / fine, it may not be an issue. Go
calculate the skin depth at your frequency of interest and when
it approaches layer thickness (<1um for all but maybe the topmost
metal).

For aluminum at 1GHz, skin depth is 2.6um (greater than most
layer thicknesses).
