@Ahmed Ramadan (Mabrains) To simulate a realistic inductor you create an equivalent circuit for it. Typically you add some resistance in series and this affects the Q factor of the inductor as:
Q = 2 * pi * f * L / R
Consider that typically the resistance component is frequency dependent and increases considerably at high frequencies.

Thanks @Stefan Schippers, I'd think there is a way to enter the Q factor as a variable. Thanks!

@Ahmed Ramadan (Mabrains) You can definitively create an inductor subcircuit that uses Q as one of the parameters.
A
very stupid example, create a custom inductor model that takes
inductance, operating frequency and Q factor, it calculates the series
resistance.
