  Multicluster models consider that the nucleons can be moving around different
centers in the nuclei. These models have been widely used to describe light
nuclei but always considering that the mean field is composed of isotropic
harmonic oscillators with different centers. In this work, we propose an
extension of these models by using anisotropic harmonic oscillators. The
strenghts of these oscillators, the distance among the different centers and
the disposition of the nucleons inside every cluster are free parameters which
have been fixed using the variational criterion. We have used a hamiltonian
with the kinetic energy terms and a phenomenological two-body potential like
Volkov V2 potential. All the one-body and two-body matrix elements have been
analytically calculated. Only a numerical integration on the Euler angles, it
is needed to carry out the projection on the values of the total spin of the
state and its third component. We have studied the ground state and the first
excited states of 8 Be, 12 C and 10 Be getting good results for the energies.
The disposition of the nucleons in the different clusters have been also
analyzed by using projection on the different cartesian planes getting much
more information than when the radial one-body density is used.
