'''Hard ellipsoids''' represent a natural choice for an anisotropic model. Ellipsoids can be produced from an affine transformation of the [[hard sphere model]]. However, in difference to the hard sphere model, which has fluid and solid phases, the hard ellipsoid model is also able to produce a [[nematic phase]]. | '''Hard ellipsoids''' represent a natural choice for an anisotropic model.
