dc.descriptionComputer simulations of simple model systems for liquid crystals are briefly reviewed, with special emphasis on systems of ellipsoids. First, we give an overview over some of the most commonly studied systems (ellipsoids, Gay-Berne particles, spherocylinders). Then we discuss the structure of the nematic phase in the bulk and at interfaces.
