The nonlinear micromagnetic equations are used to obtain an approximate analytical solution for the distribution of the magnetization vector in the central plane of a ferromagnetic plate with uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. It is shown that the micromagnetic nucleation mode derived from the linearized equations develops into a strip domain pattern with well‐defined Bloch walls in a rather narrow range of applied magnetic field near the saturation value. The stability of the domain pattern is discussed qualitatively.
