The Excel based tool ... calculates the capacitance and inductance per unit length as well as the impedance of a transmission line. It may be applied to wires, PCBs, etc.

A cross section of the transmission line is drawn into the Excel grids using different colors to represent the conductor, shield (return), and insulator. A finite element model of the transmission line is then solved with 1 Volt applied to the conductor with respect to the shield. The voltages throughout the insulator are found. This allows the stored energy, capacitance, inductance and impedance to be found.
