Actually, there is a very simple way of modeling two coupled lines - using
the measurement of an even and odd mode impedances and delays for these
lines. 2 coupled lines can be modeled as 4 uncoupled lines, n coupled lines
can be modeled as 2n uncoupled lines. Any simulator will support that. A
simplified model can be used as well, where only one line is responsible for
coupling - but that, of course, does not take into account the difference
between the even and odd mode velocities.
