We present a new chemodynamical code based on the adaptive mesh refinement
code RAMSES. The new code uses Eulerian hydrodynamics and N-body dynamics in a
cosmological framework to trace the production and advection of several
chemical species. It is the first such code to follow the self-consistent
evolution of chemical elements in cosmological volumes while maintaining
sub-kiloparsec resolution. The code will be used to simulate disk galaxies and
explore the influence of chemical evolution models and star formation on
galactic abundance ratios.
