teslaalset, The setup of coils in this simulation is such that there are two groups of 3 coils; Top Group=L1, L2, L3 and Bottom Group=L4, L5, L6. Each group is coupled together via their own "K" element. In the case where you want to try air-core coupling, use the K_linear component found in the "ANALOG" library. If you want to try some of the Ferroxcube cores, delete the K_linear component, and add any one of the Ferroxcube cores located in the "magnetic" library. Once you place a number of separate inductors and a "K" coupling on your diagram, you open up (double-click) the "K" device and add the inductor reference designators (i.e. L1, L2, etc.) to the list. When using the K_linear coupling device, the value for each inductor is chosen as a value in Henries. The coupling value can be selected anything from say 0.1 to 1.0. Choosing a value of "1" is unachievable in practice, but it emulates a perfect linear core with 100% coupling, and no saturation. For standard realistic air-core coupling, I usually choose a K coupling factor between 0.5 and 0.7. When using any one of the non-linear cores in the "magnetic" library, you must replace the inductance value of each separate inductor with a "no. of turns", for eg. "300". I usually leave the K coupling factor at a value of 1 for these "real" cores. The core lines were simply drawn in using the line tool.  Hope that provided the answers you were interested in.
