Abstract
The spatial model describing the changes of LC's anisoptropic characteristi cs in thermal fields has been considered. The model is based on symmetry of thermal vibrational motions of molecules relative to layer director. The m ethod of approximate calculation of complete set of anisotropic physical qu antities, which characterise liquid crystals properties within the mesophas e interval, is proposed. The method of order parameter calculation is offer ed also.
