For a subset of these layout variants we additionally performed simulations to determine the coupling +factor between a pair of identical inductors at a number of different distances and rotations. -\subsection{Inductance} +\paragraph{Ohmic Resistance} +Determining ohmic resistance by FEM is reasonably easy. In Elmer FEM, we can use the built-in joint static current and +joule heating solver to determine the ohmic resistance at a given current. -\subsection{Parasitic Capacitance and Self-Resonant Frequency} +\paragraph{Inductance} +We let Elmer determine inductance by first using its coil solver to determine the volumetric current density in our mesh +given a test current, then applying its magnetodynamics solver to solve the electromagnetic field. Elmer provides +routines to derive the total magnetic field energy $U_\text{mag}$ from an EM field solution. Since we have only our +inductor under test inside the simulation volume, with test current $I_\text{test}$, we can then derive the inductor's +inductance according to the well-known relation\todo{Find decent source}: + +\begin{equation} + L = \frac{2\cdot U_\text{mag}}{I_\text{test}^2} +\end{equation} + +\paragraph{Parasitic Capacitance and Self-Resonant Frequency} +Determining parasitic capacitance is more complex. \subsection{Coupling}
