Thank you for your sincere response before.
I'm now struggling to realize to calculate mutual inductance between 3D two solenoid coils.
I used 3D model since I have to realize parallel two axis for misalignment although the solenoid has axisymmetric shape.
I have some confusion because the results (self inductance first) comparing to 2D results that I performed before with one solenoid model using 2D axisymmetric model.
I think 2D axisymmetric result makes sense so I don't understand why 3D result has so large self
inductance.
2D Axisymmetric model Self inductance: ~145uH
3D model Self inductance: 2309.6uH
I used
Results-Global Evaluation-Expression-Model-Component1-Magnetic Field-Coil parameter- Coil inductance: mf.LCoil_1
Could you give me some advice or recommendation to realize this model?
I think I may have some mistake for 3D modeling.
I'm really looking forward to hearing from you.

I assigned circle (2D) and sphere (3D) for air circumstance.
I would be appreciated your help.

Please check the coil geometry in the 3D file. Just select a circle to indicate the current direction.
I have tried to modify the coil 1 in your model, and get the self inductance of coil 1 to be 145uH, which is close to the 2D result.
