it's a sim. it's cheap and easy to put a diode across the inductor and plot it in a scope
>spoiler: the diode will safely conduct the 3.5A (max) of kickback and dissipate only a few watts for a few milliseconds
SS54 Schottky diodes, 5A, 40V, SMA package, 40 cents each on mouser. if you're into that THT shit, SB540, same spec, axial leaded, 39 cents each on Digi-Key

you can use an interactive sim when you want to explore, on a qualitative basis, that some particular arrangement of *electronic* ideal components will respond to signals in the right way
if you haven't thrown out your idea for infeasibility, you can then use a batch ("real") sim with real component specs (the ones you'll most likely be using) for a quantitative analysis and final component selection
