Abstract
A method operates a continuous annealing line for the processing of a rolled good, in particular a metal strip. A property of the rolled good in relation to a point or a section of the rolled good is fed to a computer-aided model as an input variable. The point or the section of the rolled good is located before or in the continuous annealing line. For the purpose of precise control of the continuous annealing process, at least one material property of the rolled good after the continuous annealing process is simulated by the computer-aided model and compared with a specified target value. If the simulated material property deviates from the target value, at least one process variable of the continuous annealing process is controlled as long as the point or the section of the rolled good is located before or in the continuous annealing line.
