Anyone has idea about simulating Q of a capacitor. Let's say that the capacitor may also have parasitic inductor serial connected to it.
 

For a cap in parallel with resistor:

Q=ω RC

so: You can get real part of input impedance ( R ) and multiply it by imaginary part of input admittance ( wC ) thus getting Q
 

hi, elbadry

Thanks for your reply.

If I have a capacitor with a small serial parasitic resistor, is there anyway we can accurately get this resistor value through simulation?
