Why do symmetrical etch layers show different impedance values in Display > Parasitic?

Electro Node
Electro Node 2 hours ago

Hi everyone,

I routed clines on L4 and L5 with the same width, and both layers are symmetrical to the shield ground.

However, in Display > Parasitic, I’m seeing different impedance values. I expected them to be similar.

Has anyone seen this before?
Which stackup or cross-section setting should I check first? Could this be related to conductor properties in the field solver?

Thanks in advance!
