Digital analysis of components, in particular is important when developing new products or optimizing designs. Through this project, using COMSOL Multi-physics software helps to understand a concept of continuous casting. In Continuous Casting of steel is an operation which is sensitive to a number of factors. It should be performed with great control and steadiness in such a way to produce safe casting operation and sound steel mechanical properties, and ensure a continuous process with limited delays. In this study, effects of factors encountered in the process of continuous casting of steel billets on the thickness of solidified steel layer in the mould area and temperature distribution occurs in mould. Casting rates in terms of velocity magnitude and thermal heat conductive fluxes. Of these factors modelled are mould thickness, mould material, thermal conductivity and molten steel superheat. Simplified calculation were performed in which heat transfer equations governing the process solidification were solved using an explicit method of finite difference technique. The results showed that the most effective factor on solidified steel thickness in the mould is the magnitude of molten steel superheat prior to entering the mould.
