Abstract
We suggest a simple synthesis model of an eclipsing binary system which includes one component with strong stellar wind. Numerical simulations show that the shape of the light curve (and in particularly the widths of the minima) strongly depends on wind parameters. Wind effects are crucial in modelling light curves of binaries including e.g., WR stars.
