FATAL: The following branches form a loop of rigid branches (shorts) when added to the circuit

Please let me know how to resolve the above-mentioned error. I am trying to simulate the S-Parameters of a Symmetric Inductor by connecting the input port (Port 0) to the center wire of the inductor, both ends of the inductor to two (2) equal loads, and the output port (Port 1) across the two terminals of the symmetrical inductor. When I run the SP simulation, I receive the above error message.Please note that both input and output ports (i.e., Port 0 and Port 1) have non-zero impedances. Your attention and comments are appreciated. Thank you.
