I'm simulating a spiral inductor with HFSS. Two terminals of the indutor lay on oposite sides. To form a complete loop for the current to flow, a return path is needed. As shown in the figure below, a square loop outside the inductor serves as return path, the square loop intersects with silicon substrate. But it was found, the simulated resulst is the unite of inductor and return path instead of inductor only. So, my question is, how to eliminate the effect of return path, or what kind of return path does not deteriorate simulation result? Thanks!
