The Monte-Carlo method is applied to a sample consisting of 256 linear point-quadrupoles, whose centers are fixed on a face-centered cubic lattice with the usual boundary conditions; the quadrupole interaction is characterized by an energy . The electrostatic energy is evaluated by means of Ewald-Kornfeld’s method. Results are given for energy, specific heat and order parameters and compared with previous papers on the subject. A first-order phase transition is found at T=(1±1)Γ/kB.
