[en] Two complementary approaches of steel continuous casting modelling using the finite element code LAGAMINE have been developed in the M&S Department. The first one (at a macroscopic scale) describes the whole continuous casting process, from the free surface in the mould and through the entire machine, including thermal and mechanical behaviour of the steel. The second approach focuses on the prediction of cracks and is developed at grain scale. We present in this paper a description of the context in which the study started, the description of the macroscopic approach and some results.
