Abstract
An earlier Monte-Carlo simulation of a cholesteric configuration of molecules is generalised in the present work allowing for full rotational degrees of freedom. The effect of temperature on pitch has been studied and the results are compared with the results obtained from mean field and plane rotator model simulation studies.Keywords
