For a strip not over a ground plane, just set the height/thickness to some
large distance (like 36 inches).
Select the Inductor menu on the left to calculate round wire inductance.
As an example a 12" long 1.5" wide strip has an inductance of about 0.046
uH. A 1" round conductor (about the same surface area as the strip) is
0.148 uH (about 3x the strip).
