Abstract

In this paper, we report our successful implementation of Q tensor model in threedimensional finite element method (FEM) simulator. The 3D-FEM Q tensor-model-based simulation revealed that the spaly-to-bend transition occurs only at 4 V while the vector-model based FEM solver provides an erroneous transition voltage of 8 V.
