Abstract
Within the discrete phenomenological model of antiferroelectric liquid crys tals we calculate the structure of the SmCalpha phase in free standing film consisting of N smectic layers. A temperature evolution of the structure i s determined for an example of the hulk SmA <-> SmCalpha <-> SmC phase sequ ence.
