Ferromagnetic nanoplates, suspended in tert-butanol, form a ferromagnetic ferrofluid. In the presence of an external magnetic field they form different structures. Presented in this work are measurements of such structures when the nanoplates are exposed to a multiaxial alternating magnetic field. When using a uniaxial field a striped structure appears. In a biaxial field dots, vortices and windings emerge. The shape, dynamics and stability of the structures changes with the dimensions of the container the fluid is in, with additional magnetic field components and the amplitude and frequency of the field.
