Ansoft maxwell, calculating inductance of a flat rectangular loop

Hi guys,

Anyone here knowledgeable of this software? I have a problem where 300x400mm rectangular loop, made with 20mm wide copper tape (only 0.1mm thin or so) needs it's inductance to be found (for one and more windings)

I was pretty certain it could be done in 2D modeler but I'm getting lost as there doesn't seem to be a way to define any excitation that goes along x or y axis (like a linear current density... interestingly, you can define linear current density for edges, in z direction!)

Those coil and end connection excitations also puzzled me.

I can post more details if anyone thinks he can help..
