Hello,
I am trying to analyze a multi-layer planar inductor in Maxwell 2D and I am having trouble calculating the AC resistance and Inductance of the model as a function of frequency.  
The model is as follows: 

 

Here, the red rectangles indicate copper trace and the green rectangles indicate dielectric material in the PCB stack-up. 

The matrix is defined as follows: 

All the copper traces are connected in series. 
I have set up a frequency sweep in the analysis set-up as follows: 

The simulation results are as follows: 

For the main matrix: 

I'm not sure where I am going wrong in this simulation. I'd appreciate any help regarding the same. 
Thanks,
Shivangi

Thank you for your prompt response. I do not have solve fields only checked in the solve setup. This is how my set-up looks like:
