Specific models are also provided (see table below). Their mode of use is presented in § Spatial model / user model.

… spatial linear magnet ( μr and  described via
spatial formula ) |
Direction of magnetization (orientation)
Magnetization is a vector quantity which can be defined:
- either by a module and a direction (in a coordinate system)
- or by components in a coordinate system
These two modes of definition provided in Flux are presented in the two tables below.
|
In a model of the “unidirectional” type the mathematical model and the direction of magnetization are dissociated. |

| Definition | Use | |
| Module of Br |
Direction (in a plane XOY)
|
A single material can be used for definition of several regions (with different directions of magnetization) |
|
In a model of the “vector” type the mathematical model and the direction of magnetization are associated |

| Definition | Use |
|
It is necessary to create the same number of materials and/or coordinate systems as the regions |
