  In this work we present results from NPT(isobaric-isothermal) Monte Carlo
Simulation studies of Liquid Crystalline Dendrimer (LCDr) systems confined in a
slit-pore made of two parallel flat walls. We investigate the substrate induced
conformational and alignment properties of the system at different
thermodynamic state points under uniform (unidirectional) anchoring condition.
Tractable coarse grained force fields to model both monomer-monomer and
monomer-substrate interaction potentials have been used from our previous work.
In this anchoring condition, at lower pressure almost all the monomers are
anchored to the substrates and mesogens are perfectly aligned with the aligning
direction. This alignment is not uniformly transmitted to the bulk region as
the pressure grows, instead, it decays with distance from the surface to the
bulk region. Due to this reason, the global orintational order parameter
decreases with increasing pressure (density). In the neighborhood (2-3
mesogenic diameter) of upper and lower walls, mesogenic units form smectic A
like structure whose layers are separated by layers of spherical beads. In this
region individual LCDrs possess a rod like shape.
