A computer simulation method for analyzing the dynamic orientation structures of surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals is presented. This method is based on a free-energy theory in which electrostatic, elastic distortion and surface interaction energies are taken into account. Some results of one-dimensional simulations which analyzed the relationships between the threshold of an applied electric field, material constants, bounding surface conditions and cell thickness are also presented and compared to theoretical considerations.
