are strongly aligned, the film resistivity becomes highly dependent on the measurement direction [@Behnam2007]. MC simulation of partially oriented carbon nanotubes also revealed the effects of alignment on electrical conductivity [@Berahman2013]. The electrical conductivity of percolated networks of rods with various aspect ratios and degrees of axial alignment has been simulated [@White2009]. For anisotropic systems, a particular type of angular distribution produced by interaction with a flow has been considered. At a fixed volume fraction and aspect ratio, the simulated electrical conductivity decreased dramatically once a critical degree of orientation had been reached. Electrical percolation in quasi-two-dimensional metal nanowire networks has been simulated [@Mutiso2013]. The electrical conductivity was evaluated by assuming that all the electrical resistance resulted from contact resistance at the rod-rod junctions. The preconditioned conjugate gradient iterative method was used to solve a system of linear Kirchhoff’s equations. The data were presented as a calculated plot of the optical transmittance versus the sheet resistance. The conditions for both optimal sheet resistance and optical transmittance were formulated. For ultra-transparent electrodes based on aligned silver rods significant electrical anisotropy was observed for films with high transmission ($>99$ %) [@Ackermann2016]. For films with lower transmission, the electrical anisotropy becomes negligible. This
