Magnetic Flux Density
Magnetic flux density for a uniformly magnetizied body can be calculated by the formula:(1)
Formula 1 is a scalar potentiel of flux density, M is a constant vector of magnetization, ϕ is a scalar potentiel of the same body charged with unity charge density. The potential can be calculated by the formula:

calculated of the volume of body, Fig:1.
Figure 1. Potential Calculation
The volumetric integral calculation is not easy in general so we calculate magnetic flux density only for regular bodies such as blocks/cubes, discs/cylinders, rings and spheres.
Magnetic flux density generated by steady magnets can be calculated by simple formulae only for spherical magnets or for z axis for cylindrical and rectangular magnets.
Blocks/Cubes
For a block or cube, Fig. 2;

The calculation gives the formulae(3)
Examples of graphs of magnetic flux density for a rectangle are on Fig.2. The graph is plotted for M=100,a=5mm, b=10mm, d=5mm, range of z is [0.01,10]mm.

Disc/Cylinder and Ring
For a disc or cylinder calculation of integrals gives explicit formulae only for z axis, Fig. 4.

Examples of graphs of magnetic flux density for a ring (red) and a disk (bleu) are on Fig:4. The graph is plotted for M=100,diameter=10mm, height=5mm, range of z is [0.01,10]mm. For the ring an interior diameter=4mm.
