In order to create a magnet oriented on X, Y or Z axis, you can use the model “Linear magnet described by Cartesian vector Br” available in Flux. Let consider a volume magnet that should be defined with Br=1T and orientation on Z axis. The procedure to follow is presented below:

1Create material MAGNET using the model « Linear magnet described by Cartesian vector Br » with Br_Z=1
2Create magnetic region MAGNET defined with MAGNET material
3Orient the material
From menu Physics – Material – Orient material for volume region
4Display magnet arrows in order to visualize the aimantation direction

Note: in order to create magnet with negative orientation on Z, the material MAGNET should be defined with Br_Z = -1
