The computer‐modeling program that simulates 3‐dimensional structures of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals in arbitrary complex geometries, has been developed. The program takes into account anisotropic elasticity K 11 ≠K 22 ≠K 33 , pretilt angles on the boundaries, anisotropic surface polar and azimuthal anchoring, divergence elastic term K 24 , and inhomogeneity of the electric field.
