We investigated a method so far neglected in sdB stars, but very successful for Main Sequence pulsators, that is, mode identification from the line-profile variations caused by stellar pulsation. We report the calculation of time-resolved synthetic spectra for sdB stars pulsating with various combinations of pulsation modes; these calculations were carried out over appropriate ranges of effective temperature, surface gravity and helium abundances. Preliminary tests using these synthetic line-profile variations demonstrated their potential for mode identification by comparison with observation.8 pages, 4 figures.
