The influence of an optically thick disk on the light-curves of eclipsing binaries is studied for the case of SX Cas. This system belongs to the strongly interacting binaries of the W Ser type. The star is assumed to be a semidetached system, with a hot gainer surrounded by an opaque disk. A special computer code was developed to take into account the disk influence. By trial and error the disk parameters were derived by fitting the theoretical and observed light curves. Further studies of SX Cas and similar W Ser stars are very important for understanding disk formation.
