I summarizes the main characteristics of a cosmological hydro-dynamical model which includes chemical evolution. In the last decade, galaxy formation models have made important progress which contribute to understand observations although there are still many open questions to be answered. Current chemo-dynamical cosmological simulations are able to reproduce global trends. They provide a suitable route to underpin physical events responsible of determining observed chemical patterns.
