# Individual Oxs_Ext objects are loaded and initialized via
# Specify command blocks.  The following block defines the
# extents (in meters) of the volume to be modeled.  The
# prefix "Oxs_BoxAtlas" specifies the type of Oxs_Ext object
# to create, and the suffix ":WorldAtlas" is the name
# assigned to this particular instance.  Each object created
# by a Specify command must have a unique full name (here
# "Oxs_BoxAtlas:WorldAtlas").  If the suffix is not
# explicitly given, then the default ":" is automatically
# assigned.  References may be made to either the full name,
# or the shorter suffix instance name (here ":WorldAtlas")
# if the latter is unique. See the Oxs_TimeDriver block for
# some reference examples.

# Magnetocrystalline anisotropy block.   The setting for

# The Oxs_UZeeman class is initialized with field ranges in A/m.

# to be specified in mT.  Use the Tcl "subst" command to enable
