      I tested both situations and got identical results, which are completely different from setting Capacitance=0.01. However, the official documentation doesn't seem to provide any explanation for this.

      Hi,

      Thank you for reaching out to the Ansys learning forum. Your patience is much appreciated.

      Please note that only the required elements need to be enabled while defining the Lumped RLC boundary. The same is mentioned in the second point of "Assigning Lumped RLC Boundaries" section in the HFSS help document. 

      Enabling an element with a zero value is not a recommended practice.

      Best regards,
      Praneeth.
