Useing IE3d for simulating a co-linear 2.4ghz PCB antenna

I have a simple 8 dipole design I want to simulate using Zelands IE3d but I cannot see how you specify the tracks on two sides of the FR4 substrate.
I can add substrates. OK
I can add tracks. OK
Basically its two "H" shapes like this:
H
H
Where the top of the "H" (squared off U shape) is on the top of the PCB and bottom of the "H" is on the bottom of the PCB, there are also tracks that join the two tops and two bottom. The coax is feed in the middle. There is an aluminium reflector 22mm behind the PCB.
The whole topic of substrates is confusing.
I have read the help, followed the online tutorial but I cannot quite grasp it yet.
I can create a p.a.t.c.h. with finite ground plane but I am not sure if the finite ground plane refers to the copper on the underside of the PCB from the p.a.t.c.h?? (sorry for the dots in p.a.t.c.h, some wierd translation going on here)
You would think it would be easy as making a ham sandwich, but its not ;o)

You may send me the .geo file at: jian@zeland.com and I will check it for you.
