The modified Potts model considering the lattice size and the sublattice displacement is used for studying of structural transitions in ferroelectric systems. It was shown that the lattice type is determined by the competing influence of intermolecular interactions (dipolar-dipolar, exchange interactions, Lennard-Jones potential). The lattice parameters are calculated for different intermolecular interactions. It was shown that crystallographic parameters of lattice and the value of spontaneous polarization are changed drastically at a certain temperature.
