An effective bond model is proposed to describe the inter-molecule orientational correlation in orientational glassformers. The topological structures of the orientational correlation in the system are computer-smulated based upon the model. The results indicate that most of the bonding molecules appear in the form of molecular stringsand the phenomenon is explained using the probability theory. Furthermorethe simulated results are analyzed according to the string-modeland the rigourousness and feasibility of the model are discussed.
