    112112Next, we study if the field is contained within the cloud. We divide the simulations into categories where the contained field is either poloidal or toroidal, and look at the triggering behavior when the poloidal or toroidal axis is parallel or perpendicular to the incoming shock. As shown in our earlier paper about shock interaction with a magnetized clump, it is possible to form multiple compression cores in such a scenario. One natural question is, can we have formation of more than one stars within a single magnetized cloud? The following cut is taken from a simulation where the poloidal field has a maximum strength of beta = 1, incoming shock Mach = 1.5. We plot the column density as well as the 1/beta parameter (in the smaller frame).[[BR]][[BR]]
