Monte Carlo simulations of lattice spin models are employed to investigate the effects of an external field on the creation and evolution of inversion walls in nematic films with conical boundary conditions. The simulations, based on the well known Lebwohl-Lasher potential, allow to produce simulated polarized microscopy images which are followed during their evolution when the field is applied.
