Using the equation of state and free energies of the isotropic and nematic phases available in the existing literature the fluid-solid equilibrium was calculated for the temperatures selected. For a number of temperatures, NPT simulations were performed for the solid phase leading to the determination of the free energy of the solid at a reference density. The phase diagram of the Gay-Berne model with anisotropy parameters κ=3, κ'=5 has been evaluated by means of computer simulations. The global phase diagram of the Gay-Berne model
