Ferromagnetic Pillar Calculations

In summary, To calculate the magnetic field of ferromagnetic materials, you need to consider several parameters, such as the material composition and its size, shape, and orientation. You can find general formulas or equations for calculating magnetic fields in textbooks or online resources on electromagnetism. Additionally, you can consult a professional in the field of electromagnetism to get more detailed information on the calculation.

I'm doing a research project using sensors in mobile smartphones, mainly the magnetometer. After taking extensive measurements on some pillars, in a hallway, that seem to give off a high magnetic field, measured by the smartphone's magnetometer, I now want to compare these magnetic field measurements with a calculated magnetic field. I can only find information regarding current induced magnetic field, but what about ferromagnetic material already

I'm having trouble finding information regarding how to calculate the magnetic field of ferromagnetic materials as i don't think this subject was covered in my engineering physics course. We can assume that these pillars are some kind of iron/steel product, but not exactly sure what its made of. What kind variable should i be focusing on in the calculations. Here is a picture of what the pillars look like. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
