The objective of the paper was development of the software tool, which can be used to design the best continuous annealing technology for DP steels in a fast and efficient way. The model of phase transformations during heating and cooling stages, which is the basis of this tool, is described briefly. Results of identification and validation of the model are presented, as well. Due to complex thermal cycles in the continuous annealing process and large number of the design variables, selection of the optimal technology is difficult. It is expected that the developed model will help to evaluate various technological variants and to compare them. To make this procedure more efficient, the user friendly software was developed. Basic principles and features of this tool are presented in the work. The main functionalities of the software compose simulation of phase transformations during thermal cycles and capability to apply simulations to design the best technological variant. Beyond this a data base, which stores material and technological information for all previously analysed cases, is included in the developed software. Graphical user interface is added to make the software easily accessible and user friendly.
