The ZEUS 3D code is not an easy code to handle. We had to create two subroutines, one to study the cloud-cloud collision and the other for the data output. ZEUS is a modular code. Its hierarchical way of working is explained as well as the way our subroutines work. We adopt two sets of different initial values for density, temperature and magnetic field of the clouds and of the external medium in order to study the collision between two molecular clouds. For each set, we analyse in detail six cases with different directions and orientations of the cloud magnetic field relative to direction of motion of the clouds. The analysis of these twelve cases allowed us to conform analytical-theoretical proposals found in the literature, and to obtain several original results. Previous works indicate that, if the cloud magnetic fields before the collision are orthogonal to the direction of motion, then a strong inhibition of star formation will occur during a cloud-cloud shock, whereas if those magnetic fields are parallel to the direction of motion, star formation will be stimulated. Our treatment of the problem confirmed numerically those results, and further allowed us to quantify the relative star forming efficiencies in each case. Moreover, we propose and analyse an intermediate case where the field of one of the clouds is orthogonal to the motion and the field of the other one is parallel to the motion. We conclude that, in this case, the rate at which the star formation occurs has a value also intermediate between the two extreme cases we mentioned above. Besides that we study the case in which the fields are orthogonal to the direction of the motion but, instead of being parallel to each other, they are anti-parallel, and we obtained for this case the corresponding variation of the star formation rate due to this alteration of the field configuration. This last case has not been studied in the literature before. Our study allows us to obtain, from the simulations, the rate of star formation in each case, as well as the temporal dependence of that rate as each collision evolves, what we do in detail for one of the cases in particular. The values we obtain for the rate of star formation are in accordance with those expected from the presently existing observational data / Usamos um c?digo num?rico euleriano de diferen?as finitas, chamado ZEUS 3D, para fazer simula??es envolvendo a colis?o entre duas nuvens moleculares magnetizadas, visando avaliar a taxa de forma??o estelar desencadeada pela colis?o e analisar como essa taxa varia, dependendo das orienta??es relativas entre os campos magn?ticos das nuvens antes do choque. O c?digo ZEUS 3D n?o ? um c?digo de f?cil tratamento. Tivemos de criar duas subrotinas, uma para estudar a colis?o nuvem-nuvem e outra para a sa?da dos dados. O ZEUS ? um c?digo baseado em m?dulos. Seu funcionamento hier?rquico ? explicado, assim como o funcionamento de nossas subrotinas. Estudamos a colis?o entre duas nuvens moleculares, empregando dois conjuntos diferentes de valores iniciais para densidade, temperatura e campo magn?tico das nuvens e do meio. Para cada conjunto desses valores, analisamos detalhadamente seis casos com diferentes dire??es e sentidos do campo magn?tico das nuvens em rela??o ? dire??o do seu movimento. A an?lise desses doze casos nos permitiu comprovar previs?es te?rico-anal?ticas propostas na literatura e nos possibilitou a obten??o de v?rios resultados originais. Trabalhos anteriores indicaram que, se os campos magn?ticos das nuvens antes da colis?o forem ortogonais ? dire??o do movimento, ocorre forte inibi??o da forma??o de estrelas durante um choque nuvem-nuvem, enquanto que se esses campos magn?ticos forem paralelos ao movimento haver? indu??o da forma??o estelar. Nosso tratamento do problema comprovou numericamente essas previs?es, permitindo inclusive quantificar as relativas efici?ncias de forma??o estelar em cada caso. E mais: propusemos e analisamos um caso intermedi?rio, onde uma nuvem teria campo ortogonal ao movimento e a outra teria campo paralelo a este. Conclu?mos que neste caso ocorre forma??o estelar com uma taxa tamb?m intermedi?ria entre os dois casos extremos mencionados. Al?m disso, estudamos o caso onde os campos s?o ortogonais ? dire??o do movimento mas, em vez de serem paralelos um ao outro, eles s?o anti-paralelos, o que tampouco havia sido feito na literatura, e obtivemos a correspondente varia??o da taxa de forma??o de estrelas devido a essa altera??o de configura??o. Nosso estudo permite extrair das simula??es a taxa de forma??o estelar em cada caso, assim como a depend?ncia temporal dessa taxa conforme cada uma das colis?es estudadas evolui, o que fazemos em detalhe para um dos casos em particular. Os valores que obtivemos para a taxa de forma??o de estrelas est? em acordo com os dados observacionais existentes at? o presente momento
