Results of modeling the magnetic field in a spiral galaxy are presented. Our 3-D MHD simulations (with the ZEUS3D code) use the global velocity field from self-gravitating, N-body sticky-particle simulations. As external working agent, ram pressure was adopted to model interaction with the intracluster medium. The resulting magnetic field cube was finally used to integrate synchrotron emissivities in I, Q and U Stokes parameters. For comparison with observations, final maps where smoothed with a Gaussian beam. External interaction - caused by ram pressure - was found to be an efficient mechanism for magnetic field amplification in galaxies.
